Evolutionists do not say "all life came from the ocean", you just refuse to pay attention, don't you? What they say is that it is probable it first arose in the ocean. This makes the most sense because the ocean is where the vastest number of chemical interactions was likely taking place.
Because the origin of life is so far away in time, it may never be possible to pin it down exactly, but Evolutionary Theory offers a far more rational and likely explanation than "A big Man in the Sky did it, because it says so in this book little men wrote!"

I did not know that evolutionist is a real term, but for the sake of my answer I am assuming it means one who believes in Evolution. People from all religions believe in Evolution so some evolutionists believe God created everything, some believe that we came from microorganisms that slowly evolved into all life on earth. Others don't know what to believe and call themselves agnostic while they are searching.
Evolution describes changes over time. These changes take place in order to adapt to an environment. Languages evolve, as do animals and plants. It has nothing to do with how life began. It is concerned with what happened after life began. The origin of life is a different topic entirely.

It is thought that organic chemicals in the primordial oceans were affected by cosmic radiation early in the earth's existence, causing living organisms to form.
This is of course not known as a certainty, but it is the best explanation the available evidence leads us to.
Maybe there is a completely different explanation that we haven't found yet. If other evidence is found, then scientists will adjust, or even change their theory.
That's the difference between science and religion. Science has the courage to say, "I don't know." And it has the integrity to say "I was wrong" if the facts show it.

Where do you want to go with your question?
If it is around the Bible saying GOD created man, that is valid.
God created it ALL!
If you bring in Evolution, that is valid, evolution just shows nature over time. And NATURE is the Finger of GOD!
The Bible says GOD did it, Dinosaurs, Sabra tooth tigers, man,
all of life. But instead of giving you a million, million year biology lesson, and that is not the purpose of the Bible, the Good book just get directly to the point GOD did it, evolution tries to give insight into what was/is going on with all life! It is changing, right this minute, evolution is taking place. Someone want to stand up
and say man will be in this exact configuration 500,000 years from now?
God Changes volcanic ash into lush forest with all forms of life.
I would like any one to go to the site of the last volcano eruption here on earth and wait for the black soil, plants, life that the ash WILL change into! It will happen in less than a breath of GODS time, but no one in any family alive now will ever see it. Not even the descendants of 30,000 years from now!

From books that i have read, it said that life evolved from aquatic organisms into sea animals and then these sea animals went up to the land and developed lungs, legs, etc... for adaptation to life on the land and which over time, evolved and improved to the apes, humans, etc...
p/s: this is a scientific reason, it makes sense, yes.

Do you believe that life is some kind of supernatural "secret sauce" that only a god can bestow on matter? If so, then nothing we say to answer you question is likely to affect your belief.

Evolution has very little to do with how life began. Just how it has evolved over time. People have many different ideas on this. Why don't you try picking up a high school freshman biology book? That should tell you all you need to know on the subject.

Go back to school and learn the facts, not something your religion teaches. Or better yet, here's a web site to teach you the reality.
