Did earth evolved?

So, to me, (and perhaps you as well), it's most assuredly true that our planet Earth has evolved over time, yet (as others have pointed out), our planet has not evolved--and that is of course true and does not stand as a contradiction, since the usage is a usage that is different and distinct to how it is nevertheless most assuredly true.

Yes or no. Or, yes and no. Depending on how you want to define your terms. There are better words for the making of planets, like "formed" for example. You probably selected "evolved" because you're fishing for a way to say that evolution is not enough to explain life and so it takes God to make it work.

why is it, in our solar system ONLY one planet where life can born out of nothingness?

earth indeed evolved, early earth did not contain 1000 0f ingredient for life like water and iron, i am sure other planets in our solar do not have ingredient for life

it was god who brought all the ingredient for life to the earth

There are at least two meanings for the word evolved. One meaning is simply anything which develops from one state to another gradually. The sand dunes of the Sahara evolve, (gradually move, change size, shape and possibly composition).

Another meaning is a specific sub-set of the first, namely a change in a living organism, (animal, plant, fungus, bacterium etc.), due to mutations in DNA, in which such mutations cause a change in the properties of the organism. Such changes may benefit the survival of the organism and its descendants, which means that they will have an advantage over those organisms of the same type, that do not have that beneficial property. This means that the mutation will most likely survive down the later generations, because its owners will survive better than the ones without it.

what is DNA and does DNA change?

how many times did human DNA had changed since human existence?

The basic ingredients for life are scattered throughout the universe. Earth is the only planet known to have evolved and sustained life because the conditions are better for life here than other places in this solar system. Similar-enough conditions almost certainly exist on other planets in other solar systems. Consider that there are billions of galaxies and each has billions of stars and scientists are finding there are planets circling many of these other stars too. With that in mind, maybe you can realize why arguing that the earth seems very unique and special is not a strong argument for God anymore.

Life is not born out of nothingness. That is not the scientific stance, that's the stance of creationists like yourself.

Similar-enough conditions might exist on other planets in other solar systems. You do know that there are billions of galaxies and each has billions of stars and scientists are finding there are planets circling many of these many billions of stars. Consider the vastness and stop viewing the earth as so extremely odd that only efforts by a God can explain why there's life here on earth.

can ingredients of life create life by it self?

Of course there's change. Are you a carbon copy of your parents? No. You inherit characteristics from both of them, and you have some characteristics that are unique to you, because of mutations in your DNA. These changes have always been occuring over the whole of life on Earth, more so since the first species began to reproduce sexually. Species don't change over a lifetime, but over many, many generations. Human evolution in the future will probably be very, very slow, and almost imperceptible, becuase of the size of the human population and the fact that no humans are particularly geographically isolated anymore (which is a main driver of evolution by natural selection). But when you see the differences in the more isolated human populations in the past, leading to what we call "races", human evolution is indisputable.
