Is evolution a process designed to maintain life?

[touch me not]

Got this answer from a previous question asked:
"Without death, there would be no drive to procreate. In fact, there may even be a drive against it. And without procreation, there is no evolution. Death is basically required to make room for new life, which is a KEY component to evolutionary change."

So was evolution designed to keep life going?

Thanks for your honest and sincere answers...
