At one time it did - the Miller-Ulery experiments kind of ended that discussion - but prior to that evolution claimed life came from non-life.

You are mistaken.

Evolution is the theory that there are changes in population allele frequencies over time. These changes can be caused by the random breakdown of codons or by environmental factors. [So far you -- or at least most Creationists -- agree that this happens.] Over long enough periods, these changes give rise to new taxa. [You do not agree with this, or at the very least, most Creationists do not agree that this is the cause of most varieties of life we see on Earth; some disallow it, some allow that it could accidentally and occasionally happen, but is not likely to have produced the biodiversity we see.]

That's the theory of evolution. It does not now, nor did it ever say anything about abiogenesis. You have to already have live organisms with heritable characteristics before you have evolution.

You are confusing the theory of evolution with the so-called "materialist program" which includes Standard Model Cosmology, materialist theories of biogenesis, evolution, and a lot more besides.
