There is no "ideal order" in evolution, it doesn't have a teleological purpose. It's a mechanism.

There's nothing inherently liberal or conservative about evolution. It's just a fact of nature, and I really don't see how this fact supports one political philosophy or another.

Science doesn't exclude teleology in general and there is some idea of order in the concept of "natural selection" and "survival of the fittest." But see #122.
In any case, so far we have two votes against the article.
