There was a lot of mysticism and far too many guesses in 19th century. The time has come to modernize his views.

This is the classic faith/science divide.

The author, viewing evolution only through the lens of religion, can't accept that Darwin isn't deified by modern scientists.

Darwin is rightly respected but the idea that his views haven't been "modernized" in the last 160 years could only come from someone who thinks all wisdom is received wisdom.

Certainly not from anyone with the slightest familiarity with evolutionary biology.

Do you believe that human conscience and consciousness ultimately came from mindlessness?
