" Enlighten me then. If life didn't come from non-life, than where did it come from?"
Evolution is not about the origins of life, that's abiogenesis. Also, there is no way to a priori calculate the probability of life emerging from natural causes because the processes are not completely known. Anybody who claims a probability for the creation of life is pulling the number out of their ass.

Based on historical observation, that probability would be one.
