How did these life evolved out?

Evolutionists:

Why would these animals want to evolve into this place where there is no sunlight, hot (300°C+) and crushing (~2000 atm) ?
I think the ability to adapt and evolve was a gift from God, and part of creation, rather than something created creatures 'wanted' to do.

Could you imaging the adapting process in this extreme case?
Why in the world any animal "wants to", "have to" adapt to that environment?

"Your question makes no sense" is an appropriate response to a question that makes no sense.

Why would fish "want to" go up to land and become amphibians?

I am sure many "evolutionists" can give many "reasons" for that "want".

You are not willing to consider the question. You do know what does the question mean.
Look, if you ask an expert in a field a question and they tell you your question makes no sense, the correct response is not, "It does too -- you just don't want to think about it." I said your question didn't make sense because it didn't make sense. "Why would these animals want to evolve into this place" is not a meaningful question to ask about species of animals. Species don't want to do anything, and evolution has nothing to do with wanting.

Why are you "using" seemingly "random" quotation marks? Fish didn't want to go up on land and become amphibians. Some fish developed characteristics that let them go partly onto land, and they were able to survive by doing so. So they did. Some of their descendants developed characteristics that let them farther onto land, and they were able to survive too.

The exact same thing applies to life at deep sea vents, and life in the Arctic, and life in the tropics, and life everywhere else.

It has been explained to you multiple times now that evolution has nothing to do with what living organisms want. Random mutations and natural selection 'dictate' where a organism gets to survive.

Well, maybe the environment was different in the past, and they adapted to new realities?

How did the deep sea life do "exactly" the same thing?
You clearly know what I was asking at the first place, and are able to answer my second "unreasonable" fish question (so you did that). How do you answer my first question in a similar way? Does the "similarity" between the two cases even make sense to yourself?

I will skip you until you say something more informative.

Some worms, which probably already lived in the deep sea, developed characteristics that let them use resources around deep sea vents -- like eating chemotrophic bacteria -- and they were able to survive by doing so. So they did. Some of their descendants developed characteristics that let them exploit those resources even better, and so on.

You clearly know what I was asking at the first place,
Your question did not make sense, so I invented a question that sounded vaguely like it and that did make sense, and I answered that one instead.

Deep sea life presents a similar question. Why were they there at the first place.

Deep sea life found around mid-ocean volcanic vent is one level above that. It is a special niche which has no reason to host any life migrated from outside. We do not find normal deep sea life similar to those at the oceanic ridge. Life either began there, or began here (where we live). Crabs and shrimps, for example, occurred at both there and here, present a big problem for evolution (speciation).

Easy. The continents were joined! Now it is under deep water. This is news?
Why didn't life run away from the active volcanic environment? They do have enough time to escape, no matter now slow they crawl.
