The reason that evolution does not need to have abiogenesis to kick start it is that no matter how the first organisms came to be, the evolutionary changes occurred to those organisms. Also simply put, creation would be a form of abiogenesis since your God would had to make life from non-life which is abiogenesis.

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.

Unfortunately no matter how many times that it is brought out that Abiogenesis & Evolution are 2 different entities, they still don't get it.
