New Theories / Evolution is Universe Wide

I understand evolution is a hot button issue for many, a source of ridicule and hostility often times. I'll answer whatever question you like, but if you are rude, ask condescendingly, proclaim yourself the winner before letting me answer or suggest I give up my dreams. I'm going to write Schadenfreude and get on with my life. If you ask the same exact question without the shade after that, I'll answer it. Sucks that I have to write that, but it is what it is.
Imagine a quilt built for a young science enthusiast. The quilt is made with patches that are proportionate to the size of each star and planets surface area. The sun would have the biggest patch, Jupiter would be much smaller but the second biggest, and the earth, less than that. All in all, the earth would take up about 1 11,000th the size of the entire quilt.
The reason to point this out is to attempt to calculate the chances a photon would leave the surface of earth and reach another planet in another solar system as opposed to anything else. Basically the photon is either going to get lost in space forever, or hit something. I'm not sure at all how to calculate the odds the photon gets lost forever. I'd like some insights on that if somebody wants to help.
But let's assume for argument sake that there is a high chance a photon gets lost in space, due to the acceleration of the universe or something, since a high chance ultimately works against my conclusion.
Let's say there is a 1% chance it hits something. Then lets say there is a 99% chance it hits dust or a comet/asteroid or anything besides a star or planet. That means only 1 in 10,000 photons that leaves a star or planet reaches another star or planet.
Since there is a 1 in 11,000 chance it reaches the surface of the earth, that means the chances a photon leaves earth and reaches another earth size planet is about 1 in 110,000,000. (11,000x10,000) (conservatively)
It seems like a big number until you realize how small photons are.
1 food label calorie could create 5.27 x 10^21 photons with a wavelength of 250nm which is a relatively higher energy photon in the U.V. range.
This means that if a lifeform eats simply 1 calorie it could theoretically send 4.79 x10^13 photons to other planets like earth.
Just 1 calorie can do that!
Now imagine if it were possible to encode genetic information on these photons and all life was doing that. This could completely change the nature of evolution.
Instead of mutations being truly random, they can simply be what rode in on a rogue photon somewhere.
I know this concept is over peoples physics level and I can no doubt expect a lot of flack for it but the way I think it ultimately works is that chromosomes in it's coiled form creates certain conditions that only a very specific photon can unlock. If a photon is perfect enough, it can occupy a chromosome and cause usually a useful mutation.
It's not a coincidence that DNA coils and supercoils all helices as 1 of the three polarizations of light (circular) is also a helix.
Since DNA is built off of captured photons, this gives life an incredible level of complexity it really has no business achieving accidentally in the history of earth.
I can get into the specifics of the physics and genetics if you'd like and are respectful. (although I'll annoy my girlfriend for not just continuing to write my paper)
The overall priority of life switches to maximizing photon creation over even it's own lifespan and offspring. This is why male and female dominates complex life. Males create more photons, females create life. Without females we go extinct on earth and without males we go extinct in the universe. Females still create photons with excess calories but males specialize in it. Specification of tasks is more efficient.
Cancer hijacks the chromosome by intentionally infiltrating fields and ultimately forcing mutations that build tumors that create photons etc. etc. This is why males struggle more than females with cancer because they are easier to hijack due to their goals. This is also why heart cancer is rare because tumors wouldn't be very good at infecting if they kill the host too quickly.
I would argue with good thought ANYWHERE you look supports this theory over modern evolution. I have to get you "over the hump" in thinking about genetics but it would come in time.
Take the fossil record for instance. The fossil record does not support slow change, but it alters. For instance, during the Cambrian explosion, nearly all animal phyla evolve, that includes dinosaurs and mammals is estimated to happen in a narrow 12-25 million years. Which is super short compared to the 3.5 billion history of life on earth.
Anomalously this happens with the biggest most complex forms of animals as well like dinosaurs and mammals when the modern rhetoric of "random" mutations suggest bigger should be slower.
Same thing happens with the history of plants, flowering deciduous plants exploded onto the scene half way through the cretaceous period. Darwin dubbed this an "abominable mystery" and suggested that maybe there was some "lost continent" plants evolved on that sped up the complexity of plants when the continent collided.
I think he was right, it's just that the lost continent wasn't on earth!
Universal Evolution can handle this just fine. Life on earth or anywhere can catch up very quickly particularly amongst the most advanced because they have the most need and resources for this type of communication process. However the rate of change will slow way down once they catch up to whatever is out there, which is exactly what the fossil record shows.
(one last note, because this idea messes people up) Mutations occur not because of the number of photons that hit, but how perfect they are when they do. If you sleep naked cuddling with piles of buffalos your entire life I am not suggesting you will turn into a buffalo because of the photons they create. However, if you "accidently" mixed your DNA around mimicking another buffalo, one of those photons could absolutely jump from the buffalo chromosome and occupy that new chromosome and then the cell would act more like a buffalo than a human. However considering a chromosome is billions of base pairs, the chances of "accidentally" mutating into a buffalo is realistically 0, even one time in the history of the universe.
The thing is though the net effect over time, drives evolution because mutations are stacked statically to be useful because prolific life creates more signal and because the chances a chromosome can be occupied even by something that creates a huge amount of photons like the sun can become irrelevant compared to life that creates precise photons. Basically, one person who knows the password to the CIA is more likely to type the correct password in than a supercomputer guessing 10^1000 times if the encrypters have talent.
