You did not answer my question. Here it is again. In a very recent post I stated what the key elements of evolution are. How does a river system have those key elements? Go through each element and show that it applies to river systems.

Without gravity, there are no stars.
Yes gravity is a requirement for stars. But stars are not a requirement for evolution. The required elements of evolution are:
replication
heritable traits
change
selection
When do you ever see these elements or pre-requisites come together without intellects? I suppose you could ask when do you ever see these elements or pre-requisites come together without stars. Well there is nothing in principle to prevent an intellect from going to a place in the universe devoid of stars and putting these elements together.
