Well, yes, it is, but that doesn't make the question less relevant.

Evolution is "the descent with modification of different lineages from common ancestors". There is nothing in that definition about the origin of the universe.
The fossil record is directly relevant, because it gives us evidence of transitional forms -- something predicted by the Theory of Evolution.
