"Evolutionary Worldview" Defined

The Evolutionary worldview, summarily defined:

Generally, the belief (whether in theory or practice) that everything existing or having existed has a naturalistic origin; i.e. an origin apart from any divine or otherwise hyper-dimensional creative activity. Specifically, the origins model based around the Darwinian biological system of random mutations selected according to benefit.

It should be noted that a refusal to accept this belief system is not a denial of science or logic; since science in the pure sense does not regard origins or pre-history, and logic has different outcomes depending on what one's axioms are at the outset. The idea of naturalistic or self-containing existence for the universe is such an axiom.
