I'll let go when you do. It's not my fault that you didn't have any understanding -whatsoever- of that which you pointed to as support of your assertion.
What is happening in the spider sim satisfies my definition of evolution. I would certainly call it an evolutionary system. The fact that it utilizes procedural gens is irrelevant. Cars use atoms and because they use atoms doesn't mean they are not the products of intellect. You said yourself that the spider sim was implemented by an intellect. I am beginning to think you do not understand what evolution is.
