And in this case, "life begets life" is clearly a presupposition to the theory of evolution which he did say.

But that is not the issue. The false quotation is Darwin said that "life can only come from life."

I think you're going about this all wrong. I mean, surely you remember when Jesus said "Verily, amongst you shall come a man who has sailed on a boat named after a dog, and he shall have traveled to the island of the tortoises. Yea, and he shall come up with a cracking good theory on life, which I command thine future generations to learn as My own gospel, for it is like unto the truth."

We all remember that quote, right? And if you happen to not remember it because there's no documentary evidence that he said such a thing, it doesn't really matter - what's important is that none of us can honestly testify about what he didn't say, and so therefore you can attribute anything to anyone you like, and nobody can ever accuse you of making it up. Have fun!
