And we can decide whether we want to confound the various meanings of evolution.
If Paul keeps referencing Darwin, selection, natural, human, and artificial, and then talking about solar systems being selected, this does lead one to suppose we are thinking about some kind of Darwinian process.
But if you are using evolving in the sense of emerging properties of the universe, an unfolding universe, an ageing universe, a growing universe, an expanding universe then there is no problem.
