its difficult because youll need an organism that can process lots of poisonous shit like arsenic and lead as well as other minerals, which is toxic to most organisms, and to evolve from one species to another, its unlikely that it would happen

Yea, its a common misconception that evolution keeps making more and more perfect organisms, with more power and intelligence or whatever. All evolution does is make organisms that are more adaptable to their environment. So in your example, you would most likely need a series of improbable events in order that a creature like that would come about purely through natural selection, and most likely would never happen.

I would like to point out hte absurdity of your statement:

What if evolution created something that was basically perfect and wanted to grow and eventually all matter and energy was a part of it?

The only answer to this is:

Evolution would have created something that was basically perfect and wanted to grow and eventually all matter and energy would be a part of it.

Now a question like: Could A happen?
Different story there.

It was just a thought not really a question. I don't think it could happen.
