Hint: Evolution for the purposes of these discussions usually is defined as "biological evolution" the definition accepted here

The discussions here were relating to cosmology and not biology. Evolution means things evolved - arguing over what evolved seems a bit unnecessary. Also, I never used the “biology” delimiter in my reference to evolution as cosmology. Evolution is a key principle in most theories of cosmology – making all the those “evolution has nothing to do with cosmology” statements that much more absurd.

Actually, the discussion here is focused evolution in the biological sense, and how it relates to Creationism, specifically how the silly creationist nonsense isn't spreading to other nations. You'd know this if you bothered to read the referenced article.

Evolution is a key principle in most theories of cosmology

That may be, but cosmological change isn't driven by natural selection or random mutation of genetic codes, and its meaning when used cosmologically means more of an orderly progression of events as the Laws of Thermodynamics are followed.

So, since this thread started on a biological theme, your insistence that Evolution be considered as a cosmological event is incorrect and improper, and possibly your understanding of the concepts are weak.

The only one not discussing biological evolution WAS YOU!!!..

The rest of us were discussing the Theory of evolution, started by Darwin in 1859. This had to do with Biological evolution.

Not universe evolution, not cosmology, it was, and is, and has been about biological evolution.

It is really bizarre to be called clueless by the one who is actually clueless as to what the ORIGINAL discussion was about.

Or as my old undergraduate advisor used to put it, "The only thing constant is change." So what? It's not what was being bandied about before you got here. The subject of this thread was biological Evolution(or big e Evolution)--at least before you got it bogged down in 300 posts of semantical discussion. That has scientifically little to do with BB theory and cosmology. They share a common background of an old universe, but they have little to do with each other--just because you think it has a lot in common does doesn't make it so.
