"There's no evidence for cars coming into being via reproductive acts by other cars. Living things seldom come into being except by the reproductive acts of other living things. So where does it make sense to put the evolution?"

That would seem to say that Life is necessary as a prior condition for Evolution to proceed. Thus, you have just given credibility to the concept that a living Designer is required as a precursor for both Evolution and Life.

It also said your argumentum ad vehiculam doesn't hold water. Yes, there was no evolution until some molecule started replicating itself with imperfect accuracy. Abiogenesis is at best a separate topic and doesn't rescue the creationist strawman sillies that litter this thread. The evidence points to one and only one instance of life coming from non-life on this planet.
