Was was it that caused that SPARK of life to be generated from the primieval soup of our planet and to develop into life as we know it today.

That is not evolution, but abiogenesis. Progress is being made on that front. Stay tuned.

I dont think Darwins survival of the fittest by itself can explain the diverse nature of plant and animal life we have today.

Natural selection is only one mechanism that "guides" evolution. Biologist have lively debates about the relative importance of the known possible mechanisms. But that is a bit irrelevant, the important point is that support for common descent is very strong, and gets stronger with each new genome sequenced. Both you and the plants in your yard share a common ancestor.
