Evolution: is it necessary to know how life ultimately began in order to study and debate the evidence that evolution has since occurred? [Spirituality & Religion]

If you think it is, why do you think so? Can you explain that reasoning for me?

I ask because i've encountered a creationist's position that the evidence for evolution can be ignored if we don't know how life began.
I point out that the theory of gravitation still allows us to study the interactions of matter without knowing how it came to be but this apt comparison appears to be ignored.

Since i've received no explanation from the parties involved, i'm coming to YOU!
So. Thoughts?馃檪

essentially we dont know,my theory is there is a god, just not, how we like it to be. Now the god, may have tried over and over to make creatures and made mistakes over and over, and has been doing it for billions of years.the god maybe be like the greeks thought or romans,looking down on us, and making ,mischief,like earthquakes and floods,and not the caring god we like to think it is, i doubt we will eve rknow
@kutee

I've always said that creationists would have an easier time of it if they espoused a [i]fallible[/i] god rather than one that makes no mistakes lol

@kutee

It would certainly be easier without a literal interpretation of divine wisdom
