I just find it unbelievable that life could evolve from non-life. It makes no sense at all.

You're right, it doesn't. Every scientist alive agrees with you.

What about what this site says?

BTW, notice that the word "evolution" is used.

How did life begin? What was the origin of the first carbon-based life on earth?
Scientists are proposing various theories for a natural origin of life by a process of abiogenesis (a non-biological production of life) that can be viewed as a chemical evolution from non-life to life. {note: Another meaning of chemical evolution is the natural process, occurring in stars, that forms the nuclei of larger atoms (Li, C, N, O,...) from the smaller nuclei of H and He. }

Scientists usually propose a four-stage process of formation for the first life:
1A. formation of small organic molecules (amino acids, nucleic acid bases,…),
1B. and these combine to make larger biomolecules (proteins, RNA, lipids,…),
2A. which self-organized, by a variety of interactions, into a semi-alive system
2B. that gradually transformed into a more sophisticated form, a living organism.

• Loren Haarsma & Terry Gray (2003) briefly outline a possible process for a natural origin of life.

If what you say is true then what's your response to this quote by Nobel laureate George Wald?

quote:

---

“The only alternative” to spontaneous generation is “to believe in a single primary act of supernatural creation. There is no third position” (Wald, 1954, 191[2]:46). Life was either created, or it evolved from non-life. Since every scientific observation known to man has demonstrated that physical life never comes from non-life, and cannot do so, the only logical conclusion is that life was created supernaturally.
