<Evolution means that things spontaneously happen without a Higher Power guiding the process. Correct?>

Thre is nothing magical or spontaneous about evolution. It is a very matter of fact process. One little gene change after another, built up over many many generations, gradually makes a different creature from what lived many millions of years before.

<where and when and how did the first living being appear?.>

Good question. Evolution itself says nothing about this. Evolution says what happens to living creatures, populations, and species, after the first living and reproducing thing is in existence. The origin of life is a different problem. And a very difficult one. No one knows the answer to that question. Maybe we will never know, though I believe that even this problem will one day find a scientific solution. There are a lot of "theories" for this one, but no consensus of opinion among scientists or anyone else.
