That's what everyone seems to want to know, including me. :)

The ones answered "yes" in the poll should explain it to us and how to know if an organism was
highly evolved or not, i don't know that there's an end or limits for the evolution.

That's the logical fallacy know as argumentum ad populum, and yes, it is still ill-defined nonsense.

Why would anyone bother? It is nonsense. Spend your time usefully, read any of Jerry Coyne's books.

Question for evolutionists, and creationists can enter the discussion as well, since this DIR is about evolution & creationism.
Is the cockroach a 'highly evolved' creature? Is it 'more evolved', than say, humans? Why or why not?
There is no such thing as a more or less evolved creature. The term itself doesn't make sense since there is no scale of evolution that has a beginning and an end where things on this side of the scale are "more" evolved and the things on the other side are "less" evolved. We can say that humans are more complex than cockroaches but even that doesn't mean we are more evolved. One could say that we are not more evolved that single celled bacteria. Far more complex yes but not "more" evolved.

Best thread on the forum.
So only one other person would consider it awful to be incarnated as a cockroach next lifetime.
I would really like to know who that other soul is.
I'm glad I'm not the only one more evolved than a cockroach.

Years ago I caught one in a tissue and squished it.
It was a terrible experience.
I've been haunted by it ever since.
It has become something of a definition of lowliness.

Squished cockroaches.
Like, SQUISHED COCKROACHES people.
I mean, what is in the minds of these people?
That western education could result in the notion that almost everybody
has no more ambition than a cockroach.

A squished cockroach!!!

aaaarftrrgrgrghh!!!
