There is insufficient evidence to determine exactly how life began, which is abiogenesis. There is plenty of evidence that evolution is the cause of the diversity of life on the planet. Your ignorance of the subject, and of what the fossil record shows, does not change that fact.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
