Evolution explains a lot. It explains adaptation, variation, and many forms of change within living systems.
But that is not the same thing as explaining the origin of life’s informational architecture.
The deeper question is scope: are we looking at mechanisms that modify an already ordered biological platform, or mechanisms that can build the platform itself?
In this piece, I unpack the distinction between observed microevolution, speciation, common descent, common design, origin of life, and the larger naturalistic claim from chemistry to consciousness.
Evolutionary biology is strongest as a post-origin framework. The unresolved question is whether unguided mechanisms have demonstrated creative sufficiency for the origin of life’s codes, control systems, modularity, and architecture.
