Granted nuture implies a desire or care about the outcome, a galaxy does not care. I think he is using the overall phrase for metaphoric effect.
Darwin's Evolution does not apply here because a galaxy does not reproduce.

Then whomever used the words nurture and Darwin's theory of evolution has not done their position a lot of good.I really hope it was the journalist.Mind sometimes in an attempt to explain their case some scientists are in danger of dumbing down too far.
