We didn't necessarily come from one cell. It could have been many cells that appeared over a long period of time in different places on Earth.
Nevertheless, to say that abiogenesis and evolution can be summed up as "All life is one" is ambitious at best. I guess it is down to interpretation, just like the various prophecies that people claim Nostrodamus made. If you take the prophecy at base value, it is meaningless. If you interpret it in a certain way, suddenly it gains meaning, but it just begs the question: Why didn't the original author write it in a way that was unambiguous and stated the meaning clearly.
The phrase "All life is one", to me, seems to describe all life on Earth sharing the same thing, whether it be presence or consciousness or whatever.
A good way to test prophecies is to invert them and see if they still make sense. For instance, imagine that instead of "All life is one", we had "All life is many". Does "All life is many" make sense? Well, yes it does if you interpret it a different way.
