Can you give some examples outside the realm of biology?
Cosmic evolution - the evolution of matter in the cosmos - the formation of stars, planets, galaxies.
Evolution is the main princple of science-based cosmological theories (dare I say "evolution as cosmology so nobody with think I mean only biological evolution) - things evolue - biological evolution (evolution of life on this planet) is merely ONE form or example of evolution. NOTE: the thinking process of man has evolued and that too has nothing to do with biological evolution.
