Not really. Evolution is an ongoing process and there is no defined goal to it.

Um no, it's about the creature having biological adaptations to it's surroundings.

Then it would no longer need to evolve when it has adapted to it's surroundings

Surroundings are always changing though.

That takes time though. Right now we're evolved to our peak and don't need further development

Evolution slowly happens over time, it's a gradual process. We're always evolving.

Do you really mean that? Imo we are just as far from anything peak-like as we were some 10000 years ago

we evolved to a point where we're good enough to keep procreating, but in many aspects the human body is still a huge mess. take wisdom teeth as an easy example. our jaws literally can't fit all of our teeth because they evolved backwards.

Pretty sure the majority of mutations are not beneficial, even the supposedly beneficial mutations are still not that great. Like drug resistant/immune strains of diseases being weaker than normal strains

Almost all of them, the probability of a positive mutation is beyond low.

I get where you come from and it is kinda true but it would require an unchanging environment.

I mean parenting is about making a person who doesn't need parents.

The science books must be lying to you.

Imagine the amount of changes necessary to go from a single cell to a human, then the incredibly low probability of a single mutation being positive for a creature. Now combine the two using math.

Evolution isn't about making anything. It's about mistakes happening and then those mistakes turning out to be not so bad after all
