They're using the term "cosmic evolution" to distinguish those processes from biologic evolution.
Yupper.

Just like Harvard does.
Yttrium said:
They're not in any way related to biologic evolution.
That is correct.
Yttrium said:
In fact, I'd like to remind people that "evolution" is a common word in our language and doesn't just refer to biologic evolution.
That is correct.

I've been saying that all along.
Yttrium said:
You can have all sorts of different kinds of evolution.
Yup.

Here they are again:
  1. particulate
  2. galactic
  3. stellar
  4. planetary
  5. chemical
  6. biological
  7. cultural
  8. future
All under the umbrella of COSMIC EVOLUTION.

What has cosmic evolution got to do with evolution in biology?
The same thing ACT VI has in a PLAY.

A PLAY consisting of eight acts has ACT VI as its sixth act.

COSMIC EVOLUTION consisting of eight stages has BIOLOGICAL EVOLUTION as its sixth stage.

Were you hit over the head by a double pendulum and ignored the rest of my post?
Where does chaotic evolution fit in the scheme of things?

Ask Harvard.

(Or will they answer you?)

Aggh. No.

The various types of cosmic evolution are limited to the astrophysics stuff. And even they include things that aren't directly connected to each other.

... from a scientific standpoint, Creationism has no basis as fact. It's not science.
It's certainly not "science falsely so called" as Paul refers to it.
1 Timothy 6:20 KJV

True Science, that of honest Christians, never supported evolution THEORY.

Yeah, creationism is false science since it works with a conclusion and works backwards.

And I love that all you're doing is showing that you have no idea what you're arguing about since you would know that the word theory doesn't just mean 'an idea' when used in science.

I'm asking you where does chaotic evolution fit in the scheme of things.

Why for example does the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg algorithm for long term predictions of planetary orbits eventually fail?

Evolution has been repeatedly observed by countless people over centuries.

Evolution is absolutely not a fact and has never been proven.
We have observed evolution on so many occassions that calling them countless is, on a practical level, barely an exaggeration.
It is interesting that you choose to ignore the validated research of tens of thousands of dedicated individuals, many of whom are Christians, that have confirmed both generalities and details of evolution by a score or more disciplines.
Why does the reality of evolution and the effectiveness of evolutionary theory make you so uncomfortable? You seem to perceive it as a threat. That is also interesting.

True Science, that of honest Christians, never supported evolution THEORY.
I notice you are new here. This statement of yours seems to come very close to breaking one of the forum rules. Indeed, I think it breaks the spirit of that rule. You are not allowed to say that any member who identifies as a Christian is not a real Christian. Your reference to "honest Christians" seems to place you at, or over the line. Just something for you to reflect on.

Is there a rule here that I must have a specific number of posts before I can post the type of comments that I've posted, which were simply matter-of-fact statements in disagreement with your matter-of-fact statements, or are you personally offended that anyone could disagree with you?

Speaking of false science, what kind of science is it when you have no proof of a theory and you carry it forth into the world as if it were proven fact? What kind of science is that?

As far as my ignorance of the definition of 'theory'?

the·o·ry
/ˈTHirē/noun
  1. a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, especially one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained.
    "Darwin's theory of evolution"
theory definition - Google Search

Isn't that funny? Hmmm. Even Google uses it as an example of the definition.

Wow.
