technically it's not spontaneous. There are some thoughts out there that organic compounds can emerge from non-organic ones and, given enough time, "life" will emerge. One of my favorite books on this is "Regenesis: How Synthetic Biology Will Reinvent Nature and Ourselves" by George Church. I have also seen arguments for this in "The Blind Watchmaker" by Dawkins that was published in 1986.

The Blind Watchmaker is mostly a book about evolution. Evolution does not explain origin of life, so it is not relevant here.

  you are right that it’s mostly about evolution, but also touches on what may have given birth to life.
