Are you trying to tell me that evolution says nothing on the subject of the very first species coming to life? Are you trying to say that Darwin does not theorize on how life began or begins?
The very first life form would be the very first species. The theory of evolution does not cover how the very first life form came into existence, and this has been the case since Darwin wrote Origin of the Species. Darwin said that the process of evolution began once the first life forms came into existence, speculating (but not including as part of the theory itself) that it was the work of a Creator.
The method by which the first life form came into existence is irrelevant to the theory of evolution. It could have been natural processes causing various molecules to come together in the right formation, it could have been aliens seeding the earth, it could have been time-travelling humans planting the seeds of their own existence or it could have been a divine entity zap-poofing the first life forms into being, or it could have been something else entirely, and the theory of evolution would not be affected by one bit.
