You mean to say that you've never heard of Chemical evolution (chemosynthesis)?
I quote:
"Chemical evolution has two meanings and uses. The first refers to the theories of evolution of the chemical elements in the universe following the Big Bang and through nucleosynth ...[text shortened]... _evolution

The theory of evolution is not concerned with chemical evolution, and I suspect you know it, this is a cop-out.
Evolution: (n) 1 : one of a set of prescribed movements
2 a : a process of change in a certain direction : UNFOLDING b : the action or an instance of forming and giving something off : EMISSION c (1) : a process of continuous change from a lower, simpler, or worse to a higher, more complex, or better state : GROWTH (2) : a process of gradual and relatively peaceful social, political, and economic advance d : something evolved
3 : the process of working out or developing
4 a : the historical development of a biological group (as a race or species) : PHYLOGENY b : a theory that the various types of animals and plants have their origin in other preexisting types and that the distinguishable differences are due to modifications in successive generations; also : the process described by this theory
5 : the extraction of a mathematical root
6 : a process in which the whole universe is a progression of interrelated phenomena
---Webster's Dictionary.
Evolution is a word, and has many similair meanings, all of which are used (obviously). Just because the word "evolution" is used, does not mean it is a part of the same theory we are discussing.
