Darwin was interested in adaptation and natural selection...not the origins of life.
He at least recognized the limitations of science in his time.

Exactly. And people should note that he was born a good 150 years BEFORE dna was even discovered.
So if evolution is happening, and the cause is mutations/changes to the DNA that get passed on, don’t even DARE blaming Darwin for it.
I’ve read both “Origin of the Species” and “The Voyage of the Beagle”. He was a naturalist and social observer.
A damn good one.
