He accepts Darwinian evolution but doubts it can explain the ultimate origins of life.

This exposes either the ignorance of the article's author or of Flew himself.

The ultimate origins of life are a seperate matter from Darwinian evolution. No, Darwinian evolution does not explain the ultimate origins of life, but then it never tried to explain it. It's like arguing that Darwinian evolution is inadequate to explain how to properly install Windows XP. Yes, the theory doesn't explain that matter at all, but the theory was never devised to explain such a thing.

I shouldn't make it sound like you're the only one, there are certainly others on FR who seem to get it, but there are still lots and lots of people who don't understand this fundamental point. So many news stories try to paint a picture with Darwinian evolution on one side and some origin-of-life concept on the other side, when there is rarely any conflict at all. I wish these news outlets would get a science editor!
