Evolution is anathema to physics and cosmology. If the laws of physics were evolving we could hardly do physics at all.

Alas, the laws of physics do seem to change with time ~ lots of it of course, but they change nonetheless.

Huh?

That's a huge non-sequitur. Evolution does not suggest that the mechanisms of physics change over time, only that species and populations change in response to those mechanisms.

The same is true in physics and cosmology. Objects, both earthly and celestial, come into existence, change or cease to exist all the time, just like species and populations do. (to be more precise, many small objects accrete into larger ones or large objects disintegrate into smaller ones, because of the whole conservation of mass/energy deal).
