>>Steve Jones, “Darwin’s Ghost,” page 195.<<
Interesting, but the fact the author uses “Darwin” in the title means nothing. TToE focuses exclusively on the nature of changes in living things over time.
If someone chooses to bring abiogenesis into it, that is well and good but does not apply to the OP.
Darwin's "Origin of the Species" contains fourteen chapters, four of which containing the words "Geological" or "Geographical."
The Jones book is a modern update of Darwin's work, and Jones' fourteen chapters duplicate Darwin's original titles.
In my opinion, the entire universe is evolving.
