You absolutely ARE saying that abiogenisis is how life began IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN A CREATOR! So unless you are of the opinion that life has always existed (which again there is no evidence of), then by eliminating the possibility that life had a creator, you accept abiogenesis (life from non-life) by default.
Life may have always existed, it may be abiogenesis, it may have been created, it may be from some other process that hasn't been discovered, we simply don't know. You don't have to pick your favorite idea and run with it, you can simply say " I don't know how life began", which is a more honest response than "God did it". At least with abiogenesis there is evidence that under the right circumstances it is at least possible and that's the difference between the god claim and faith. We don't even know if God is a possibility because all we have to evaluate God, is Faith, which tells us nothing because there is nothing we couldn't take on faith.
