Sure it does - it is the underlying philosphy of evolution - the universe began with a Big Bang 15 billion years ago. And life began, somewhere in the distant past, millions and millions of years ago. Eons of time are required in order for there to be sufficient time for "descent with modification" to take place by means of random and chance mutations, and the process of natural selection. To say otherwise is to deny the basic premise of evolution - you can deny it if you want, but the only alternative, unacceptable to evolutionists, is that the universe was created by God, and that He created the first life.

Evolution is a theory to explain a biological process. It makes no statements as to how the universe originated. All that it requires are biological life forms that do not reproduce in a fashion that produces a 100% identical duplicate. The origin and age of the universe is not relevant to the theory of evolution, much less a 'basic premise'. To claim such is either an act of deliberate dishonesty or such a level of ignorance that the person making the claim has no qualifications for speaking on evolution at all.

You really need to do some reading on scientific matters. Evolutionary theory has to do with change in living organisms. The main point is that you are not a clone of your parents.
