Evolution is a side effect of organisms competing for resources. Any difference between two organisms will become significant if that difference provides an advantage in mating or finding food or avoiding danger. It's "survival of the {best fit for the current circumstances}": Slightly longer legs (better for running away), more drab colouration (better for hiding in the underbrush), and so on. The loser dies; the winner mates, and the advantage is passed on to the offspring. That's all evolution really is: A tendency for slight improvements to propagate to the next generation.
This actually makes a lot of sense. Do you think its possible that evolution can apply to non-life as well. If evolution only applies to life (mutations only apply to life) do you think that is strange? Why would evolution under the guise of another process maybe -not apply to non-life as well? What makes you think that matter turns into life and only then does evolution begin? The universe is there in the beginning, matter is there in the beginning, so why cannot evolution be there in the beginning?
