imo you cant have evolution without some form of abiogenesis which is why i include that aspect into my definition...although im aware that evolutionists dont consider abiogenesis as part of the theory.

This strikes me, not so much as an assumption of the ToE, as an assumption of the PeG.
Do you have anything relevant to add to the actual topic of this thread?
Nevertheless, in terms of the original question, I believe that Peg is right. In my experience, creationists commonly believe that ToE is based on an assumption of abiogenesis. I agree that they're not right, but it's what creationists
think ToE assumes.
