What do you mean, dodge?
Evolution says nothing about the origin of life, because without life, there can be no evolution, so evolution states nothing, as far as how life came to be.
If a theory cannot exist before an event, that event will not be explained by the theory.
I hope that explanation was basic enough for you to understand.
The beginning of life could have been aliens from outer space, it could have been a cometary collision whcih had the proper amino acids on it, it could have been God reaching down with his glass chemical rod and swishing it into existence. It really does not matter to the theory of evolution, because without life, evolution could not exist, therefore the origin of life is of no consequence to the theory.
Yes I am just an ignorant old engineer. That is a prime example of an evolutionist showing rabid religious condescension to a challenge to his dogma.
