...there is NO EVIDENCE of an inanimate object evolving into an animated life form.

Well, there is. Assuming that Earth was once lifeless, and it now has life on it, somehow life emerged.
Or is this too complex for you to understand? Our scientists are working on the "how".

Creationists would have me believe that "Our Invisible Buddy who Lives in the Sky" flew down to an empty earth
6000 years ago and breathed life into dust. Then "OurInvisibleBuddy" planted all those fossils to confuse us.

"Well, there is. Assuming that Earth was once lifeless, and it now has life on it, somehow life emerged."

That's not proof that life EVOLVED from inanimate matter. Sure, somehow life is on this planet, but whether it emerged, evolved, or was created here by an Intelligent Designer has not been proven.

To claim that the mere presence of life serves as proof of Evolution is to throw out the entire Scientific Principle in favor of pseudo-scientific-religious dogma.
