Impressive that you are a physicist.

as far as evolution goes, it is a theory at this point, just as gravity.

The process of evolving has been substantiated. The creation of a single cell has not.
I do understand what a scientific theory is. It is such a general term where substantiated processes are lumped in with unexplainable, hypothetical phenomena. Theory
We are talking about the "theory" of a cell being created from non-living matter. That tends to be lumped in with the idea of evolution (evolving of already living entity's). They are different.
