Do I believe that natural processes such as physics, mutation and natural selection are sufficient to describe the existence of the diversity of life forms we see around us without the need for supernatural intervention? yes ... If you want me to say yes or no regarding a specific item that Darwin said then please post something specific and I'll be happy to reply.

No, you pretty much hit upon Darwin's contribution which is the idea of natural selection. It's not clear to me where this has been demonstrated except within an existing species, but you did answer my question.

Natural selection always operates within existing species. There is never a child that is not of the same species as its parents.

Hollywood notwithstanding.
