Evolution falls under the larger umbrella of Naturalism. Naturalism is a worldview which proposes that everything exists without any supernatural or intelligent influence. Therefore, from the prospective of Naturalism by definition, everything that has happened in the universe, happened only by and because of a strict natural mechanism: spontaneous chance. Or another way to state it is everything exists for no reason, by cosmic accidents, by luck of unimaginable odds.
