That sounds like evolution to me.
That is the gist of one of the ideas for the beginning of life.
That still has nothing to do with evolution.
You should revise your idea of evolution at least to the extent that evolution says nothing about the beginnings of life. There have been a number of theories, maybe in a hundred years we might see a lab experiment produce life from nothing but precursor molecules. Till then all that is just conjecture. That is the state of the science of how life got started.
Evolution is WAY ahead of that game. Too bad you can't see the trees for the forest.

God is the source of life, so what you said will NEVER happen.

I believe the point is ligers or whatever don't come from nothing.
Lions and tigers had to exist before ligers could exist.
