Possibly you're over-reading, but definitely you didn't answer my question.

More explicitly, then, "evolutionary" implies some grasp of a direction toward which things evolve.

Otherwise, it's just so many chemical reactions.

Evolution does not imply direction at all. Only change under selection pressure. There is no direction things are moving towards.
Serious question: how can one be sure that there is "evolution" occuring?
