From the article:

But the day-owl is only one of many quirks of nature on the volcanic outcrops straddling the Equator in the southern Pacific whose unique wildlife helped Charles Darwin more than 150 years ago shape the principle of evolution through natural selection that today is the bedrock of scientific thought on the origins of life.

An example of poor science journalism. Evolution starts only after life is present. Traditionally, the theory of evolution is not concerned with the actual origin of life, only the origins of different species.

The whole article wasn't too well written. "Evolution Islands"? Where's that?

[Dimensio]

Evolutionists might claim that evolution does not deal with the ultimate origins of life, but they need to reconcile that with the fact that creationists claim that it does.

Who is more likely to be knowledgeable on the scope of evolution? Someone who accepts and studies evolution, or a creationist?

Yeah. Evos have enough time coming up with Just So stories for evolution. How on earth can we expect them to tackle beginning of life?
