If abiogenesis is not your origin of life please define where evolution begins. Where does life begin so that evolution can occur?
Evolution occurs when there is replication with variation.
Please define 'life'. Are replicating molecules alive?

That is a true statement but doesn't address the issue. There is an oxygen molecule in water and through hydrolysis it has the same effect on the bonds of amino acids.
There was no free oxygen in the atmosphere or the water when life started. None.
The molecular oxygen in our atmosphere and in the oceans is a product of life.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
