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.

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.

The first message in this thread related to the origin of the universe.

So you are back to the "biological evolution has no connection to cosmology" word game.

Try this:

Cosmology: The science of the world or universe; or a treatise relating to the structure and parts of the system of creation, the elements of bodies, the modifications of material things, the laws of motion, and the order and course of nature.
