If you think that Christianity holds no symbolic imagery then you are blind. Symbolism doesn't inherently mean idolatry.

Where in the writings of the Illuminati do they say the "ends justify the means." Or are you quoting from someone else?

To evolve is to become greater than before, not merely change.

That is incorrect. Biological evolution is change over time through mutation. Change does not imply greater than. Social evolution has led humans to wage war on a global scale and possess weapons that can conceivably destroy life as we know it. Is that "greater than" the social condition of early humans? I think not.

No, to biologically mutate is to biologically mutate, with or without physical improvements in relation to the mutated's environment. In humans evolution is implied to denote the steps of mankind's mutations in a upward scale (thus the greater than tagline).
For example, by your definition, the abominations of insects in Japan caused by the Fukushima fallout would be "evolution" and that would be incorrect.
