why there are still Amoeba? if evolution is non-randomly through natural selection or randomly through genetic drift?

I really wish people who asked about evolution were a little more educated about the subject. Adaptation is the reason. This world is quite large, amoeba as you chose, we're living in different areas of it, not all of them evolved because they didn't need to adapt. And without them there would be no life cycle. Animals actually started out in the ocean and then evolved to land.

Amoebas are able to produce offspring that can successfully compete in the environment.
Natural selection has produce amoebas better able to compete, and genetic drift has allowed favorable traits to permeate the population. Amoebas pose no difficulties to evolutionary theory.

they are hear because they can survive, they have not faced anything that has required an evolutionary response
edit:
no need for evolution for them at the moment, if there was no evolution at all on this planet, we would all still be muck, or this planet would look like mars. get your head into some high school science books to get started and then do some real research into evolution. with out it, you would not be here, those close minded my religion is the only real one would not be here.

Evolution = Mutations + Natural selection
One part of a group evolving doesn't mean that the rest of the group has to go extinct.

Why are there still monkeys?
Evolution is decided by what survives and reproduces not by what is the most "advanced" life about.
If there is nothing to cause its extinction, it still exists and will go on doing so.
Species seperation and lifeforms that seem to evolve "slowly" are often ecologically isolated.

most people confuse adaptation with the theory of evolution. all living things adapt to their environment to some extent. man did not come from bacteria or from the sea. if life evolved from the sea what happened to the first offspring born with lungs instead of gills? it would have drowned. even if it made it to shore somehow immediately after birth, what would care fore it in its infancy? man came from man, fish come from fish birds come from birds etc.

if you really wanted an answer youd ask in biology why do you assume that every atheist is a certified expert on evolution? go to talkorigins.org they will answer every single question you have

Go ask this over in the science section. As an atheist I am not an expert in biology so how does this relate?

Because they haven't died out, of course, it hasn't anything to do with evolution. Do you even know the basics of evolution?

Perhaps a better question would be "If evolution is true, why are you not evolved enough to understand just how ignorant your question is?"
