Yep, there’s that too. Strike two on that post.

I find this deeply amusing because Richard Dawkins has quite often claimed that "Darwinism explains life". In this video he claims Darwin blew away theistic notions about a creator of life (7:50): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBDUPAgy5zk&t=6s
But without an origin to life, there can be no diversity of life.
