The problem here is not an understanding of evolution. The problem is in people's understanding of what life is. There is no fundamental difference between dirt, clouds, stars, rocks, fish, viruses, and humans. It is a matter of organization of components.
The notion that we won't be able to create life or that life "arose" out of "non-life" is absurd. There is no real distinction of "kind" between life and non-life.
A cell phone is as much "life" as you or I or a bacteria are. It's a remnant word from a non-scientific time. It creates problems in the minds of many when trying to understand the universe. And there's not a single A-T-C-G in it other than in the skin cells and saliva cells you deposit on it through using it.
