Is theory of evolution right or wrong?

I think, just like Newtonian physics, Darwin's theory of evolution breaks down when you get out of a certain range. Just like Einstein's theory of relativity was necessary when you got down to particles and started going with the speed of light, same with the theory of evolution - another theory is needed to go beyond the obvious, like breeding show dogs and strawberries the size of grapefruit.

The theory of evolution can't be applied to anything smaller than a virus. Can you apply it to life just below the conventionally accepted threshold of life? Can you apply it to, say, water, air, and other supposedly non-living matter?

I propose an extension to Darwin's theory of evolution. Call it a theory of pre-evolution. After all, in the beginning was nothing but clouds of helium and hydrogen, which compressed into different heavier molecules and made the world we live in. And those heavier molecules formed amino acids - the building blocks of life, we call them. But weren't the real building blocks atoms of hydrogen? And what sort of evolution caused hydrogen atoms to form life?
