[Darwin’s] whole argument began with a being which already possessed reproductive powers. This is the creature the evolution of which a truly comprehensive theory of evolution must give some account. Darwin himself was well aware that he had not produced such an account.

Yes, and a truly comprehensive theory of physics must bridge quantum theory and relativity. But what happens in the meantime.

You know very well that currently biology has no theory of abiogenesis, but that isn't what you are arguing about. You are merely dragging a red herring across the path of common descent -- which is among the most thouroughly agreed upon facts in science.
