Darwin 

Darwin even though is mostly thought of as a biologist he also makes great philosophical points, at the time. All which i think make sense, natural selection to start. Natural selection or better known as survival of the fittest, species going through evolution to survive in an environment. This lives on now with everyone knowing and using the term for science. Natural selection before it was proven by science started off as a theory that Darwin stood behind. Natural though makes the most sense now. Before it seems like the most rational option too. If species did not evolve for their habitat they would go extinct leaving no species or for those that could only survive. Also the discovery of fossils would back up the theory of species evolving when seeing how different the fossils were. As for where life came from he was also right. This theory probably was most easy to believe since it was so sensible as well. All life had to have come from somewhere, the past seemed like the best option. Since that was proved as well it's known by now. But later in the chapter they discuss where life came and they all decided it was from a mass of atoms and matter in the universe. Which is right but as to actual life or what made things come to life was a bit different.  How was life created? Or more animals and human life. The life that rules the planet and has been at the top of it for milenia.
