WTF is evolutionary cosmology? The theory of evolution has absolutely nothing to do with cosmology.

"Evolutionary cosmology formulates theories in which a universe is capable of giving rise to and generating future universes out of itself, within black holes or whatever."
--Robert Nozick

"During the 1880s, Charles Peirce began to develop a system of 'scientific metaphysics', an evolutionary cosmology that explains the evolution to a law-governed external world from a state of pure possibility. This appeals to his 'tychism', the view that there is absolute chance, and provides a defence of his realism."
--Oxford Scholarship Online

Perhaps you are joking. Neither of those things sound like anything to do with the theory of evolution, and neither of them sound like something that would be taught to high-schoolers.
