Evolution is not always correct.

Evolution is correct only for a certain set of circumstances at a certain point in time.

Appendixes are an example of legacy evolutionary artifacts.

Evolution keeps...evolving.

So one could argue that mortality is a legacy evolutionary process and by overcoming it humans are evolving as a species.

Think of all one could accomplish if dedicated 1000 years of learning and research to developing fusion for example or space travel.
