"He did not make any statement about how the first living creatures appeared'

Huh?

Then you need to tell that to a few hundred science teachers.

Darwin never discussed the Origin of Life in a single published book or article in his life.

He briefly speculated on it in a personal letter once. That's it.

Not a bad idea, actually. The Theory of Evolution does not address the original origins of life at all. Darwin did not address it in any of his published writings.

There are some theories about the origin of life, including the Intelligent Design one, but they have nothing particularly to do with evolution, which discusses speciation.
