Depends on your definition of 'evolution'. Since you are making an argument about biological evolution, then any other example is required to incorporate the salient features.
Please demonstrate another example of replicators replicating to compare it with. Cars and birds' nests don't cut it.
However, if you are now talking about evolution in a broader, less technical sense such as the evolution of computers, or the evolution of thought in the political world, or memes, then this has nothing much to do with biological evolution.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
