So if you accept that, you accept evolution.

So you concede that evolution is a fact and not a theory?
No. A fact is a thing that is indisputably the case. Evolution is a theory. I believe it is apparent that life has evolved, but not that life came from inanimate materials through natural processes.
Abiogenesis is a hypotheses, not a theory, and not connected to evolution.
