> You need evolution to have life.

I don't think you can say this with certainty. It is assumed that life and evolution go hand-in-hand from the beginning but it is not proven to be the case.

How exactly can it be proven? Even if we create life from scratch and see it evolve, it won't be a definitive proof

It could be proven if there was a record found of something that predated the currently known fossilized bits from really long ago that would give a hint about how life at that stage was put together. This is highly unlikely to happen.
