This seems like a very good way to deal with the ever-popular question that creationists are always asking -- how did life begin? The quick (and truthful) answer is that the question asks about chemical evolution, and Darwin dealt only with biological evolution.

Even Jack Chick knows that. ;)

Well, I've finished reading it. As you say, it's good on the history. But when he runs out of present-day discoveries, the author gets lost in the all-too-common fog of incredulousness that any further progress can ever be made. He has hit a wall, so he readily accepts that the wall may be permanent barrier, beyond which lies the eternal unknown. Still, it's a good article. Very well written.
