[Sir Francis Dashwood]

The theory of evolution implies that all organisms arose from descent from a common ancestory.

Yes, the DNA molecule...

For example, how the first organism with DNA came to exist is not part of the theory of evolution.

Please explain the apparent contradiction.

No. The ToE deals with the first living organism that was prone to replication errors and selection.

BTW, no one claims that DNA would have been the first replicator.

This is not a contradiction. The study of common descent at the levels we currently are able to do so does not rely on knowledge of the very first organism. It is very easy to study how humans and chimps have a common ancestor or how hippos and whales have a common ancestor without being concerned with how the first proto-life originated.
