Non-materialism is not the denial of matter, it just places it as an epiphenomenon. Darwinism is a computer science theory. It works on DNA but it also works on solutions to the travelling salesman problem. The problem of weather matter is epiphenomenal or a brute fact is incidental to how DNA encodes information, how phenotypes are expressed from it and so on.
I think your using an over simplified version of Darwinism. Darwinian evolution explains the development of complex organization due to competition for limited resources. Success in the competition consists entirely in producing more progency - not in solving for a sortest path or some other computational problem. Darwinism would apply to computer viruses if there were computation among the viruses for resources.
