In what way do you believe that I was mistaken?

You are mistaken in thinking origin or creation of life is not a topic of research under evolutionary theory. It is irrational to believe this and shows a lack of inquiry (with irrationality coming partly due to making statements without inquiry). It is easy to look at the field (i.e. do inquiry) and see that experiments or articles have tried to address origin of life in the context of evolutionary theory.

On another level, your answer implies that evolution does not entail only natural processes, and therefore you'd be including some sort of supernatural process as a valid aspect of evolutionary research.

Here is the exchange that began this:

Someone: Evolution's core argument is that life was created from raw natural process.

You: The theory of evolution makes no such statement.

What does "the theory of evolution" state?

Evolution states that allele frequencies change in populations over time.

Biologists are interested in biogenesis, but evolution is about changes in existing populations.

You are mistaken in thinking origin or creation of life is not a topic of research under evolutionary theory.

You are not correct. The study of life's origins is addressed within the field of biology, but the theory of evolution itself does not address the subject. This is because the theoly of evolution does not require that life originated through any specific process and also because the mechanics of the theory are not applicable unless life already exists.

On another level, your answer implies that evolution does not entail only natural processes, and therefore you'd be including some sort of supernatural process as a valid aspect of evolutionary research.

I intended no such implication. Science cannot address the supernatural, thus it would be inappropriate to include any supernatural claims into any scientific theory.

What does "the theory of evolution" state?

That random variation during reproduction combined with reproductive selection pressures relative to environment -- including natural and sexual selection -- resulted in the biological diversity observed today.
