Evolution and time are two correlated topics. We know that continuous evolution is there in nature and time is also flowing continuously. Can I say evolution is consequence of continuously flowing of time?
I would not say that. If you state that biological changes are a consequence of constinuosly flowing of time, in my point of view, you would find less disapproval.
The term "evolution", as I see it, implies some benefits from those biological changes. And we know that not every change is a good one, so I dont see the word "evolution" as the most aproprieted.
Even though it is risky, I dare to compare your question to the human species: there is no more natural selection, and, personally, I think we did not evolve, biologicaly speaking, in the last thousand years.
There is research work on the fundamental origin of time and irreversibility on the quantum level. Check this paper:

Also you should read the work of Prigogine on irreversible thermodynamics, time, living systems, etc...
