Yeah, that's what I also think, and why I do think that the probability argument against abiogenesis is viable (when it is used correctly of course)
Except for the fact that at one time there was no life. Then there was life. Thus live had to start from no life, thus some form of abiogenesis had to occur, whether created, or natural through chemical/physical genesis. Even if the primitive life came form space it still would have had to start with some form of abiogenesis which, to me, would make the probability as 1:1

Since Evolution is only ~90% correct it should be thrown out and replaced by Creation which has even a lower % of correctness. W T Young, 2008

1- Abiogenesis: Defined as the origin of life by natural processes.
Webster's Unabridged Dictionary writes:
Abiogenesis
(n.)
The supposed origination of living organisms from lifeless matter; such genesis as does not involve the action of living parents; spontaneous generation; -- called also abiogeny, and opposed to biogenesis.
It says nowhere that abiogenesis has to be a natural process.
