"The folks are Berkeley disagree..."

If you really want, you can always find a "gotcha" when subjects that can fill whole books are reduced (for the purpose of creating a web page) to two sentences.

You doubt? So write them, ask what "natural selection" has to do with "the origin of the first self-replicating organism".

"Self-replication opened the door for natural selection. Once a self-replicating molecule formed, some variants of these early replicators would have done a better job of copying themselves than others, producing more "offspring."

Your link, 3 pages forward. So, perhaps they see, after all, the distinction between "origins" and SUBSEQUENT "natural selection"?
