If reproduction is the goal of evolution, then bacteria must be the most highly "evolved" form of life because nothing reproduces as successfully and prolifically as bacteria. We humans are in the last quartile when it comes to bio mass not to mention sheer numbers. Evolution has no goal. Evolution cannot select a goal because evolution is not a concept of a thing it's a concept of a process. Without faith, evolution is impossible.

If reproduction is the goal of evolution

I'm not sure of anyone with credibility who has argued that evolution has any 'goals'. That's like asking about the 'goal' of gravity.

Evolution has no goal. Evolution cannot select a goal because evolution is not a concept of a thing it's a concept of a process. Without faith, evolution is impossible.

The last statement does not seem to logically connect with anything else that you said.
