Evolution (Darwin's theory of evolution) is a Natural process that happens in Nature. That is why Nature is always worshiped. We are also born, live and get absorbed in Nature. That is why, it is said in the verse, the command of Nature is the limitation of knowledge. We exist on the lap of Nature carrying our karmic bags, which unfolds making us to undergo pains and pleasures of our karma (what you so, so you reap). Nature not only nurtures us through our own karmic account, but also by the eternal law 'survival of the fittest'. We accrue our karmas through our Freewill. Survival is a continuous process and only the fittest alone survives. Though fittest survives, that being would have accrued karmas for its survival. It is a continuous process. Nature is the most secretive of everything that is known to us.
Verse two of this explains thus:
Birth is not something new on earth and
Nothing is older here than Death
Without these two, there is no Nature
The order of Nature is the limit of spiritual knowledge

Respected Sri.Ravi.,
Eons back giant reptiles lived. Monstrous vegetation was there. But all these were obliterated from the planet. We talk about karma for our current life!s pleasures and miseries. Now also we find animals predating on each other for their food and living. We also get nourishment by devouring vegetation and animal food. How does karma play a part in all these activities?

Let us understand like this.
Sun is Brahman. Indiviual souls within us is nothing but reflection of Brahman. Reflections are only reflections and can never become the original sun. Similarly, individual souls remain individual souls till such time it becomes one with Brahman at the time of Liberation. Individual soul does not have all the attributes of Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Omniscient Brahman. Individual souls have limitations. If the water in a pot is disturbed, the reflection of the sun also gets disturbed. But the original sun eternally remains the same. Individual soul has all the attributes of Brahman, but individual soul is limited by our gross and subtle bodies.
It is explained in this article thus
"Guru: Yes, there is difference between the sun in the sky and the sun reflected in the water. Original brightness of the sun is reduced because of water. Similarly, the original Light of God is reduced due to māyā. If you are able to transcend māyā, then you can see the original Light of God. You must understand that God is in the form of Light and this Light is the source of entire creation. Everything originates from this Light and dissolves into this Light. This Light is known as Brahman or God or you can call this Light in whatever name you like. Your effort to transcend the effects of māyā is Self-realization."

Respected Sri.Ravi,
The reflection of the Sun in the pot does not have all the attributes of the Sun in the sky. It is only a reflection. How can we equate the same as one?Except for the radiance it has got nothing else. Could you kindly enlighten me on this please.
With regards.

Also, Please read the verses 34, 35 and 36 of Saundaryalahari as many times as possible, everyday. I have personally experienced the power of healing for critical diseases. Of course, Karma plays a big role and we also need to recite with great devotion and concentration.
You should find the verses of Saundaryalahari on this website.

Sir, can you tell me the main benefits for sadhak after getting siddhi over navakshari. what supernatural powers does one get with this upasana? Does it fulfill ones material needs? or is this for spiritual needs?

Mantra siddhi is a huge subject and it is not that easy to attain siddhi in a mantra. But, a mantra can protect our mind and keep us in Bliss. As far as purascharana is concerned, except home, eveything is to be followed. In case you are not able to do homa, you have to do 40% extra mantra japa. There is no substitute for others. With regard to bhojana, there are small ashrams who feed Vedic scholars in-house. They charge very less for feeding one time.

With regard to mantra, you can do it yourself, provided you know everything relating to mantra shastras. Now-a-days there is no need for your physical presence. You can be initiated through Skype. Assuming that you start mantra sadhana without proper initiation, you may still require guidance from a Teacher, without whom, your practice could become waste.
