Can you name one branch of science that you do believe in that does not base much of its work on extrapolation?
Darwin simply made these ancient pagan ideas untestable by making the organisms simple and pushing them back into unobservable, assumed time frames. Thus making his theory unfalsifiable and dependent on the fallacy of affirming the consequent.
Nowhere in the six editions of "The Origin of Species" does Darwin ever state or suggest what the origin of life was other than frequently using the word "Creator". He was addressing the variation within life. It might be useful to actually read the book before condemning it, unless of course you think it might poison your mind with demonic thoughts and set your hand against God.
Are you trying to say that science is inherently based on logical fallacy and the fact that evolution is so heavily based on logical fallacy therefore makes evolution 'scientific'?
"Nowhere in the six editions of "The Origin of Species" does Darwin ever state or suggest what the origin of life was other than frequently using the word "Creator". He was addressing the variation within life."
Actually, he does. He said, "I see no good reason why the views given in this volume should shock the religious feelings of any one. It is satisfactory as showing how transient such impressions are to remember that the greatest discovery ever made by man namely the law of the attraction of gravity was also attacked by Leibnitz as subversive of natural and inferentially of revealed religion. A celebrated author and divine has written to me that he has gradually learnt to see that it is just as noble a conception of the Deity to believe that He created a few original forms capable of self development into other and needful forms as to believe that He required a fresh act of creation to supply the voids caused by the action of His laws."
