What makes biology special in your mind that it can be the only thing in the universe which can evolve? Why can't cars, or sets of variables in a computer evolve?

I don't know why the woman grew the horn. Maybe a gene mutated. Maybe something in the environment activated a dormant gene. Maybe it is just cancer(I suspect not though because she is growing another horn on the mirror side of her forehead). It is a small but very noticeable change. Noticeable changes do not change what something is. Your claim that the car did not evolve because its rear end shrank in one year doesn't hold water.
