Good catch. The general rule ought to be that a quote taken out of context must have its context provided before being judged.

The quote was not out of context. That Darwin said that he could not find examples of any systems that could not have resulted from gradual evolution does not mean it is true and is certainly not proof of it. What that last sentence shows is the rhetorical tactic of pointing out problems and dismissing them before others point them out. It is a form of innoculation against criticism.
