I got the impression that he was using "evolution" in a wider sense
than just *biological* evolution, that life itself "evolved" from
chemical reactions.

A fascinating interview that I had not seen before, thanks for the
link. Whilst I was aware of George Coyne, I never really explored his
ideas before and I was fascinated by how much what he was saying
echoed my own beliefs and ideas - there was nothing he said that I
would argue with and I thought he handled Dawkins extremely well.
