“is not addressed by evolution theory”
So you are saying that.
Your understanding is a form of vitalism.
“though most scientists strongly suspect that some form of “evolution” was involved from the beginning”
And now you contradict your initial statement.
If you actually understood what you correctly say, that life is chemistry, you’d understand the inconsistency of your thought on this.
Then your "understanding" is a form of idiocy, and when you grow tired of name-calling, perhaps you have some argument to present?

No, I've contradicted nothing, and your accusation of "vitalism" is unfounded, indeed it's a red herring.
You sound like an academic who loves to get all wrapped up in word-definition games...
Sure, we can say that biology is based on chemistry, but then chemistry is based on physics, and physics is based on what...?
I would propose the Mind of God, and I'm not alone in that.
But "vitalism", as usually understood, has nothing to do with any of it.
