dhw: They are not connected. Modern discoveries may well have put paid to Darwin's concept of how the process works, but that does not put paid to the theory of evolution.

> .... David, you have accepted common descent, and that is the bedrock of Darwin's theory. If you agree with his above conclusion, then stop claiming that the theory is nearing the end of acceptance.-You miss the point entirely. The origin of life and the evolution of life are a continuity, totally., and intimately related. First life had to be prepared for the process of evolution which followed in a totally continuous fashion.-You persist in forgetting that I believe in guided evolution. I have not accepted Darwin's theory of how it works. The bedrock of his theory is natural selection which allows for a chance method for evolution and removes the need for guidance. His theory is at its heart passive and purposeless. I thought I've made that clear over and over.
