Abiogenesis is how the first replicator molecule happened; evolution is what happened once those replicators started mutating during replication and/or dying off due to competition and environmental factors that disproportionately favored some versions over others. They're somewhat the same thing, since both are the effect of biochemistry in action, but one is not required for the other.
Technically, Xenu could have dropped a turd out of his spacecraft's lavatory on the way past the early earth, and 4+ billion years later, those turd-bacteria became everything we see on earth. It still begs the question of how life first emerged to make Xenu, but as far as evolution goes, it doesn't matter if life arrived here or formed here; we just have no reason to think it didn't form here, based on what we already know of the formation of aqueous lipid layers into protocells, what we already know about interstellar ices forming precursor molecules to what's in earth's organic chemistry set, and what we know about the conditions of the early earth.

A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
