If evolution is the response, what is the stimulus?
Evolution and natural selection are the best descriptors of the process that results when a certain set of conditions are established and maintained in the physical world. This raises the question: how were these conditions established and maintained?

"how were these conditions established and maintained?" - How established? By chance might be possible (as possible as anything else). Anyway, they are as they are. But why do they need to be maintained?? (Or else: Does it make sense to think of them as being maintained?) The conditions last as long as their conditions "allow" them, or better to say: they constantly change as their conditions induces them to. And in a few billion years, when our sun bursts, nothing here on earth will be maintained...
(Refering to the heading: The stimulus to evolution is simply energy provided by the sun.)
