"You don’t have to be a benighted creationist, nor even a believer in divine providence, to argue that Darwin’s astonishing theory doesn’t fully explain why nature is so marvelously, endlessly inventive."

I used watch those Dawkins v the true believers videos and I suspect such opinions are promoted to discredit Darwinian Evolution acting on the genome. Regardless of the unknown nuances of DNA, Evolution is the environment acting on the species to further adapt it to the environment. Here's another quote from Philip Ball: "What often goes unremarked among the revisionism that current research is prompting is that DNA was supposed to be the missing part of the puzzle in evolutionary theory: the repository of Mendelian hereditary factors."

So if DNA doesn't act on the units of inheritance, there must be some kind of spooky spirit entities acting on matter,
