I have not noted the popular press or anyone much outside the YEC community using "evolution" to refer to Big Bang cosmology or mainstream geology. YEC articles with titles like "20 Questions for Evolutionists" which spend nearly half of their ink on non-biological matters (and more yet on abiogenesis, still outside the scope of Darwinian evolution) probably confuse the hell out of anyone not already familiar with the genre.

Yes, I was thinking along the same lines. It occurs to me that if one were to go to a Astrophysics Symposium as ask participants to discuss their views on the "biological/cosmological theory of evoultion" they would think you were nuts. Similarly, go to a Biology Symposium and ask the same question; the result will be the same.

THe only thing I can figure is that if you go to a Creationist Convention and ask the same question, a hundred people will raise their hands and say "me first!"

This has to be either an incredibly bad misunderstanding on the part of Creationists, or a deliberate strawman they delight in knocking down.

Lastly, has anyone seen this "biological/cosmological theory of Evolution" published in any mainstream peer-reviewed science journal? Does anyone know who first proposed it, and what exactly it says?

OTOH, there IS a well-established theory ABOUT the "evolution" of the Universe...... it's commonly called "Big Bang" Cosmology, but as you know, it has nothing to do with Darwin....

I don't think uses that exact phrasing, but it certain brings all of it together and has a strong proponent, Francis Crick - one of the discoverers of the double helix. More on the subject can be found at Cosmic Ancestry
