Seems to me that Biological Science describes Evolution of biological organized systems with laws and mechanisms differents from the way that Cosmology or Astronomy describes the Evolution of others physical systems, like particles, atoms, astronomic systems. Do you know which are the differences? Do you believe that the Evolution of living beings is different from the Evolution of the so called "non-livings"? Do you believe that the Universal History is shared in two blocks, one different from the other?!

Evolution is simply gradual change over time. Biological evolution has two specific features that distinguish it from the progressionary evolution of other physical systems -- reproduction and a coded template that shapes the next generation. This is the basis of the difference. If you look at the definition of life, the nature of natural evolution will have different characteristics.

The two "blocks" are not separate. Life is made of the same matter as stars and planets and is subject to the same physical laws. Living matter is part of the same block with a few extra features.

I think there are two trains of thought that converge: Evolutionary Genetics and Evolutionary Astrophysics. An evolutionary astrophysicist would look at the formation of the universe, solar systems stars and planets. An evolutionary geneticist would look at what time in pre-history the elements (O, H, N, P, S and others) existed to form cyotic (cell) life with DNA on planet Earth. Because we understand DNA is simply made up of different elements that naturally occur on earth and it has been proven by experiment that organic material can be created with a reaction of inorganic minerals. Finally, Both groups Evolutionary Genetics and Evolutionary Astrophysics are searching for similar environments to Earth to seed with life for the further evolution of our DNA in case the environmental conditions that support cyotic life ceased to exist on Earth.
