From reading the article this morning I hadn't thought of something like "there sure is a lot of carbon in the universe as far as we know" in terms of natural selection.
But maybe it's circular where "evolution" as it was originally used to describe biological systems/organisms on earth is just a way of describing changes in the universe but locally and specific as well. In other words, Evolution may be the Grand Theory of describing how the universe works and perhaps observing a black hole is akin to observing how elephants behave.
Although as someone else has pointed out here, maybe that theory is bunk too. [1]
> I'm not a scientist, btw.
Same here. I also have not yet had coffee this morning ;)
