It does not matter how you spin the arguments or define the terms, whether as commonly used or with scientific precision, when contemplating the full theory of evolution as to the origins of life you need to have an uncaused first cause which brought about matter that spontaneously generated life which evolved into many different genus and species. This you cannot demonstrate or prove in the least...
That has nothing to do with the theory of evolution. Evolution doesn't address the first cause of life, only how the various species came into existence. Evolution proposes that all living things share a common ancestor. How that original life came into existence is a question apart from the theory of evolution. It does not address that question.
