Well, we did indeed go to different schools, so at least in this case we can
both be right :-)

What can I say? In my experience this has not been the case, and I have yet
to hear any sufficient explanation of why all these things are linked.
One could play it for laughs and say that my lego collection and the
universe are linked, in that the universe must exist for my lego collection
to exist. This does not, however, imply that my lego collection must exist
for the universe to exist, or that what I build with it has a significant
effect on the universe :-)
The same goes for Darwinian evolution and the universe - there was indeed a
time when the latter existed and the former did not.
