An evolutionary worldview is any worldview that accepts particles-to-people evolution. I will grant that there are many different evolutionary worldviews. But they all have one thing in common: they are irrational. They cannot account for morality, science, laws of logic, or human rationality.

Only Arealityists and other fantasists can account for morality, science, laws of logic or human rationality. But only if lubricated by plenty of drool and with a sublime knowledge of nothing at all.
Jason Lisle, the perfect example of someone who has emptied his head completely in the hope that a certain passing deity may decide to rest awhile in its roomy echo chambers.
Ah, (in my best Jeff Goldblum voice) but they can and do.
The evolution of society and culture reveal all these attributes AND the lack of them in the same timeframes throughout history.
For instance, cultures away from and before your Christianity developed advanced architecture, crop management, sewage and water systems as well as the concepts of freedom if not the actual practice of democracy.
And there are no "laws of logic" as logic is a process, like reckoning or thinking things through thoughally. Jason Lisle has no idea how to utilize that process and obviously thinks logic is delivered from a mountaintop or some such shit.
Evolutionary explanations? Challenge accepted.
Morality
Early humans who held to a code of behavior were able to form more stable social groups and were more likely to pass their genes on to the next generation.
Science
This one's a relatively recent development that came about as a result of Humanity's desire to understand the world around us. Not, perhaps, a cause of evolution, but definitely a positive result.
Logic
Though codifying logical thinking is relatively recent, logic itself has been with us for a long time. Logic would've allowed a human ancestor to better deduce the results of their actions, or to predict how things are going to happen in the world around them. As a result, they'd be more likely to survive to pass on their genes than someone who can't think logically.
Rationality
This one's easy. Someone who can't behave rationally is far less likely to survive long enough to pass along their genes.
There you go. Quod erat demonstrandum!
Well, lettuce cannot account for Kant and yet, you claim both were created by your god. Therefore you are wrong.
Mixing words can be fun...
Evolution is biology, not ideology, stupid.
Evolution is only intended to account for the diversity of life, through random mutation and natural selection, stupid.
No people account for morality, science, laws of logic, and human rationality, idiot.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
