No, that's Darwinism, the earthly part of evolutionary theory.

Nope. Darwinism is evolution, although there are other competing theories of evolution. The term is often used loosely, by both advocates and opponents, to describe theories of origin of the universe or of life, but this is a misuse of the term.

When you jump from operational lab science to speculating about macroevolution- you leave the realm of science and engage in hypothetical science, and doing so you need to include origins if you are goign to make hte case that species evolved one from another- you can’t exclude origins of hte species simpyl because there is no rational explanation- you MUST show how life began and how it was possible to for nature to move species beyond hteir own kinds- stating that macroevolution ‘study’ doesn’t include origins is a copout
