Father Coyne offers Neodarwinian Evolution as an explanation for, among
other things, the origin of the universe. And Professor Dawkins agrees
with him. How does evolution of any kind have anything to do with the
origin of the universe? surely it would need something to evolve from?
It might be a reference to the following idea (which, IIUC, holds that the universe is not fine tuned for life; it's fine tuned for black holes).
