what has Marx to do with it?

Someone else brought up the subject of evolution and Marx. There isn't any connection with Marx except that his name was mentioned. Forget Marx.

Darwin, though, brought up evolution as a concept and gave it some initial substance, but many others have run with the theory and extended it way beyond Darwin's small example of the origin of species. If you stop with Darwin, you stop before 99% of the applications.

Ok. But I've kept up with physics- to some degree- over the years. It is news to me that Darwinism is closely related to the origins of the universe, galaxies, planetary systems etc. This connection, I would reckon, is pure speculation. Darwinism could be totally disproved and the Big Bang would still hold. Gravity, the Strong and Weak Forces- these things don't unravel if we lack Darwin.

I just fail to see any connection between a large planet orbiting a star nearby and how life may or may not have begun on this planet.
