No reproduction - Then you get extinction
The question is in all texts of evolution life correlates to reproduction and reproduction is a key driving force in the evolution process.
​
Your message 1 is rather muddled, but the above quoted seems to be the key item.
​
Evolution is the genetic change of a species population from one generation to the next generation. No reproduction, no next generation, no evolution. So, while I wouldn't really call it a "driving force", reproduction is a requirement for evolution to happen.
