I feel like that is basic evolutionary theory. Maybe I should actually RTFA..

Oh, I see. They're just saying that non biological systems are also subject to evolutionary forces, which feels pretty junk science-y to me. Maybe it's just that humans could only evolve in a system that allowed it.

Well if you subject anything to selective pressures there will be always something that resists and the rest will be annihilated. Or it will be all destroyed.

Hear, hear, the latest news.

In an unexpected twist chemical mutations are not exclusive to the cells of living creatures.

Is it accounting for how life itself would have developed in the first place from non-biological systems, a sort of counter to Creationism?
