Just my two cents.

Darwin's theory, like Lamarck and Kammerer. was flawed. However it was keystone to Evolutionary Theory. Darwin's observations of the Galapagos flora and fauna found a lack of evolution, largely due to the lack of predation. The cormorant (I think it was a cormorant) with stunted wings survived and increased, evidence of 'survival of the weaker'.

But Darwin did start the ball rolling.

We are so fortunate to have abundant water, a protective Moon and a favorable orbit from the Sun. What 'charm' beguiled elements to combine in the primordial soup and sparked 'life'? Random selection?

I don't think those are mistakes or accidents, do you?
