Evolution proper does not make claims on how life started, only how life has behaved since.

No, it means that evolution does not deal with life's ultimate origins. Evolution deals with existing populations of life forms, it has no relevance to life origins. The nature of life origins is irrelevant to evolution itself. Evolution only cares about the life forms that exist, it does not care how they came into being; evolution does not care if life came from chemical rections in a pool of amino acids, seeded by interdimensional aliens or zap-poofed into existence by a divine entity.
