It seems implicitly fuelled by atheism and the desire not to give a creator type thing any credit for any process in creating organisms.
No its fuelled by facts, You cant put things you dont observe or test in a theory no matter how you want to. So we cant put god in the mix even if god is the guy that is causing the mutations if we cant see him or test for his effect we cant include him. But if you can design a test that would prove or disprove the hand of god is causing say mutations, then we can include him in the theory of evolution.
But if reality has prior dispositions then that is a role for a creator. And you can't use the evolution model to explain why something exists in the first place only how it might work on a pre-existing universe of surprising amazing dispositions such as consciousness.
The fact of evolution is that living organisms changed over time there is no denying that unless you banged your head with the bible too many times.
The theory of evolution explains how these changes came to be. it does not deal with the creation of the universe, the creation of the planet, even the beginning of life. The same way the theory of gravity does not deal with electromagnetism.It makes no sense for it to do so.
If you want to attack the big bang theory or M theory then we can deal with why the universe came to be and why is it the way it is.
