You are correct in that Darwin made no attempt to explain the origin of life, and he knew nothing about genetics as far as I know. His whole view was that species that were better adapted to a biological niche than other species had a better chance of producing progeny and surviving. It was survival of the fittest. As far as I know, Darwin had no idea how such adaptions occurred. It was not until the study of genetics developed that the idea of genetic mutations became understood as the mechanism of evolution. Unless someone made some discovery of which I am unaware, no one knows how the universe came into existence.

Unless someone made some discovery of which I am unaware, no one knows how the universe came into existence. Some of us have had a personal encounter with Someone Who was there. And of course He revealed the how in Genesis chapter one.
And in John chapter one:
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
