And yes, evolution requires life... it's the study of life.
It makes no claims about origins one way or another, which is why many people of faith have no problem with evolution.

Okay so how did life get here? I mean to start evolution you need some kind of life form to get started.
If you've already read the necessary literature and cast reasonable doubts on the prevailing theories, you might get better responses. Not to worry - a stubborn person of faith is no worse than a stubborn person who believes in science without understanding.
Here, try this.

And that's it. None of you know where the first life forms came from?
When you look at the ingredients of the universe, the number one ingredient is hydrogen, next is helium, next is oxygen, then carbon, then nitrogen. Those are the most abundant elements in the universe.
So what is life on earth made of?
If you rank the elements in the human body, if you exclude helium (which is chemically inert so not useful for life) the order is the same. Hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, and then nitrogen.
Life is self replicating molecules made up of these elements. It's not special in a supernatural sense, it's literally made of the most common stuff around.
If the earth is so old then why haven't the continents eroded away?
Plate tectonics recycle the rock, volcanoes puke up liquid rock, stuff like that.
In any case there's only so much water. The earth is mostly rock. It's a weird question.

You're the one who brought up the origin of life in the big bang, I only said that your comment was stupid. You asked why, and I said because the people who believe in them say they're separated by ~9 billions years.
If you want to make fun of something at least understand the basics of it.
