Doesn't the following come close to characterizing fundamental Evolutionist/Materialist premises?

Everything came from nothing out of nowhere for no apparent reason.


No.

Life is just a curious side-effect of an unknowing, uncaring cosmos.

No.

The theory of evolution says nothing whatsoever regarding where "everything" came from or why life originated. As such, it cannot come to the conclusions that you suggest on those matters. Since your questions were founded upon those conclusions and those conclusions are not accurate derivations of the theory of evolution, then your questions are founded upon faulty premises and as such meaningless.

The current theory of evolution is ‘undirected and without purpose’ which should apply to the universe - otherwise direction would be a given per the anthropic principle towards biology.
