If you go far enough back we evolved initially from the first life forms which were most likely very simple and almost indistinguishable from just chemical reactions.
I imagine there was not a moment when you could say "there's non-life and now there is life" because the changes would probably have been subtle.
We have a good candidate for where and how it started, black smokers in the ocean depths, they have the right mix of chemicals, proteins, acids, energy imbalance and sheltered areas that are thought to be the perfect starting point.

And remember in billions of years it may only have happened once, but that was enough.
Anyhoo.
Abiogenesis is a much better explanation than the old "magic man done it" idea that was the standard non-explanation put forward by inbred goat herders millenia ago.
It explains nothing and I am surprised that the idea still finds traction, even in some of the less educated areas of the world.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
