Evolution is concerned with the origins of life not the universe. Those are
unrelated fields of science, only associated by the fact that they are
scientific pursuits. Theories and conceptions of the origin and nature of
the Universe have varied widly throughout history and will continue to do
so. The intial spark of life is debatable too. What happened afterwards is
emperical evidence. There is an accurate and measurable record of the
progress and change of life which can be supported by the changing
environment of the ages. There is no debate whether evolution is a reality
unless you want to say that it is 'God's' way of testing your faith in your
own reality. It's as real as gravity.
