The problem, both camps, is DNA is taken as what drives evolution.

I don't know what you mean by "both camps," but Darwinian evolution was around for 80 years before genetics became the focus.

The concept of variation and selection does not imply any specific mechanism, nor does it imply only one simple mechanism.

Obviously a lot of people have reputations invested in specific theories, but then so did particle physicists during the 20th century. The alternative to failed models is not divine intervention.

The alternative to failed models is not necessarily, merely by dint of the failure of those models, divine intervention.

A slight clarification.

Cheers!
