So I cant find it online but pages 141-142 of The Inklings C.S Lewis J.R.R Tolkien, Charles Williams and their friends. Humphrey Carpenter Harper Collins Publishers 2006

gives a small example of some of the discussions on evolution by the inklings. It seems from this section that evolution as in Darwinian upward complexity evolution is rejected, a few reasons are given.
