Does Darwin address the first stage or origin of matter....
Charles D. was a naturalist/biologist, not an astronomer, and he died a few dacades before it was even discovered that galaxies like M31 aren't here in our immediate stellar neighborhood. He had no clue whatsoever that the oldest matter we can observe was 10,000,000,000 years older than the earliest life we know about. And he made no more than passing reference - "a warm pond" - to any speculation at all on the earliest life.
You're conflating "life" and "matter," Flyer, and they aren't the same thing.
