I vote woo. In biological terms, evolution is the change in allele frequency over time. Nothing not alive has alleles.
Biological evolution is, as you say, the change in allele frequencies, within populations (don't forget that bit), over time.
But evolution in the more general sense is simply change over time. So, in that sense, the Universe is evolving. It started as, more or less, uniformly distributed particles that possessed gravitational potential, which led to the collapse of clouds of particles into stars, which produced different forms of energy through fusion, which drove chemical processes that, eventually, gave rise to life and biological evolution and then cultural evolution.
So there is a form of universal evolution. But to suggest that humans are the end point displays a severe lack of imagination, at best, and woo, at worst.
It's a nice idea, because I've barely even made a dent in my understanding of quantum physics. But I won't set my watch to this theory just yet.
Personally, I like to view biology and physics as two separate entities. I'm with Tanj in that without gene variants you can't have biological evolution. That said, everything can be traced back to the stars one way or another; and if we can ever find real evidence of 'pop 3' stars, then I suppose that could be a feather in the cap for the theory.
But basically, I don't know.
They really aren't. For example, the energy that drives our bodies is derived from different concentrations of protons within our cells - fundamentally, it's electromagnetism that drives biological processes.
Biolgical systems also make use of a quantum mechanical effect called tunnelling. Basically, because particles can exist anywhere within a cloud of possible locations, sometimes two particles will exist within each other's energy barrier (a barrier at which they would normally be repulsed electromagnetically) without the energy that would normally be required to overcome the barrier. They then react, forming a new molecule. That isn't an uncommon effect either, it happens a lot.
