So if Evolution must have life, then the Origin of that Life that's changing overtime is more important than Evolution.

Yeah. It would be nice to know the origin of life. But it's not necessary to understanding evolution.
Nor is it necessary to know where flour comes from in order to bake a cake.
(I figured I might as well join the repeating oneself bandwagon. Seems to be the thing to do here.)

Really?!
That would mean we would need to know the origins of gravity to understand how a plane can fly. Guess what? It makes no difference. We know gravity is there. We know it EXISTS. That's all we need to know.
Same as evolution. All we need to know is that there is life. We don't need to know how it started to understand evolution.

so without the origin of life you just have a process that occurs but that process tells you nothing about what's evolving overtime and that's what's important.

You can't be serious!!
Tell that to Einstein or all the Scientist looking into Quantum Gravity. To a Scientist, Origin matters. You can know about ggravity and the plane all day in 9th grade science class but at places like MIT or the Max Planck Institute, they want to know the origins because the origins are what matters.

Can you explain how not knowing the origins of life renders our understanding of genetics change sorted by natural selection as the explanation for biodiversity invalid?

Asked and answered. You can understand something all day but without knowing the Origins your understanding is incomplete. This is why Scientist are looking into Inflation, String Theory, Quantum Gravity and more. It's not enough to have an understanding without knowing the Origins. That's Science.

Wrong, again.
Evolution needs life. That's it. Nothing more. The origins of life is about how life came to be, it has nothing to do with evolution apart from there must be life for evolution to be a thing.
