While we obviously don't know how the first replicating chemicals got together we do know that they did. And as soon as they did then inevitably, evolution took over the process.
Now, if you want to say that God or some other intelligence created the very first spark of life then that's fine, you go for it, but it certainly isn't any threat to evolution.
You must not understand my point. Living organisms are the point here, not how a living organism came to be.
In order for evolution to occur the living organism must be able to metabolize which includes waste management and have the capacity to reproduce/replicate.
If a living organism has the capacity to evolve it is already developed enough to render the idea of evolution being primary useless in the scheme of life.
Life when seen from this view is obviously created primarily, even if evolution was a slight secondary function. This also shows that no evolutionary "tree of life" is neccessary and any such tree is an unproven assumption.
