I need to give a remark about the first answer.

It is a syllogism of how you presented it. It would not be the syllogism, and the way you wanted to present, if you would say:

1. Abiogenesis (The theory of evolution COULD apply (IF TRUE) as long as life exists. How that life came to exist is not relevant to evolution.)

Otherwise it is a sylogism and gives the reader wrong impression.

In other words you say - you have no idea how life originated, it could be God, and your evolution might be not true, but you want to believe it.
