Sorry, but the Theory of Evolution does not concern itself with how life got here or how the very first lifeforms were created.

Of course not, because it would complicate things too much and blow the theory apart, but it is a perfectly logical question to ask.

Obviously, inanimate objects did not "evolve" into life anymore than H20 "evolves" from hydrogen and oxygen.

So then, where did life come from? What's the dividing line between living and non-living?

No it wouldn't. You can insert ANY reason for how the first living cell arrived on earth and the Theory of Evolution STILL WORKS. You can say God created the first living cell. It doesn't change ONE IOTA of the Theory of Evolution.

There are a few explanations as to where life came from. Every single on is outside of the Theory of Evolution. Meaning, if all of the current ideas about the Origin of life were debunked, the ToE would remain unaffected. I don't know why this is so hard to understand.

Do you deny that evolution has been observed? Google "FRUIT FLIES AND EVOLUTION" and you will find a very good example of observed evolution.

Somewhere else... that much is certain...
