That's nice, but has nothing to do with evolution.

Evolution doesn't care how the first cell came into being, it could have been random chance, it could have been the flying spaghetti monster, it could have been a UFO that came down and planted it.

It really doesn't matter to evolution, there was a first cell that was an imperfect replicator, and evolution took it from there.

TO say that the first cell popping up by itself makes evolution impossible is a strawman argument, and does nothing to the theory of evolution.

Good response. This was also my first thought. Evolution is not concerned with how the first cell came about. Maybe a creator actually created it just to get things going. Maybe the first cell got here as a cell on a meteorite from Mars or some other world. Evolution doesn't claim to know or care. Evolution is concerned with what happened after that.
