I'm currently reading Darwin's Dangerous Idea by Dan Dennett, and he argues that Darwinian evolution is like a "universal acid: it eats through just about every traditional concept, and leaves in its wake a revolutionized world-view, with most of the old landmarks still recognizable, but transformed in fundamental ways." Didn't Darwin strike upon a broader principle with his theory of evolution, an algorithm, that can be applied to nearly if not everything (Evolution of religion, morality, psychology...laws of physics, universes, etc.)?

Well, I was gonna just skip over this since this thread's a zombie, but since you apparently want an answer... no. Granted, religion, morality and psychology may be somewhat encapsulated within evolutionary theory, and I suppose you might be able to discuss the formation of physics and the universe as a kind of "evolution," but not the kind discussed within biological evolution, and doing so certainly wouldn't present a problem for the theory of evolution, at all. It'd just be another use of the word, separate from the sense in which Darwin used it.
