Watching only part of a "pop" science program, I would not expect to get a
detailed definition. However, we are not free to define it as we wish. It
only starts after biological reproduction begins. Reproduction was stated in
the program, maybe you missed that episode.

Who suggested that? That is a straw man argument. Physics, Chemistry
Geology, and Astronomy are not the consequece of evolution. You have it
backwards. Evolution may be the result of these and not the driving force.
Evolution is an explanation for why we see such a variety of life forms.
Evolution is not an explanation of how life came from non life.

Genes get passed on whether or not the lion is familiar with them
familiarity with them. All the animals know is their instict to reproduce,
thereby passing on their genes.
