1.The process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the...
2.The gradual development of something, esp. from a simple to a more complex form.
Meaning two is not talking about biological evolution only, it is merely talking about change, and is the sense one would be using if talking about 'the evolution of the modern automobile', for instance. In biological evolution, it is not that unusual to evolve to a simpler form, as is often the case with parasites.
The second definition talks about the development of something from a simple to complex form. According to evolutionists, we evolved from much simpler forms and continue to development into more and more complex forms. Why wouldn't we eventually evolve into transcended godlike beings then?
Because evolution is biological and transcendant beings aren't. That sounds more like a transhumanist thing, like uploading your mind into a superior android body or something. The only thing biological evolution selects for when you get down to it is reproductive success. We're not going to evolve laser eyes or telekinesis.
