Unfortunately the components necessary for life can come from non-living things (because they are entirely composed of non-living things at the basest level to begin with), and this has been observed in the lab. So there's problem one.
Another thing that should be troubling for you is that no one is attempting to insert evolution into any gap. People may theorize as to an evolutionary pathway for this or that but that has very little to do with the reality of evolution, which is and has been observed, and the theory of how that could have happened, which has been consistently verified by multiple angles of inquiry, and forms the basis of modern biology. Meanwhile, creationism remains now, as it always was, a belief in a particular storybook.
It is unscientific to credit god with acting in the universe if this credit cannot be demonstrated, which it has never been. This has nothing to do with anyone's assumptions. This has everything to do with the pro-god camps failure to produce anything at all on this front -and they have had a very long time to work with. You, you personally could change this if you wanted to. Go do science.
Your god of the gaps will remain a god of the gaps even if we never fill those gaps. As long as you insist on shoehorning god into a gap whether or not we know what's there (or if there is even a gap) won't change that. It's self imposed exile.
Yes, creationism (and creationists) does/do make claims. Unfortunately those claims couldn't be fleshed out by observation or demonstration, two things which are important to science, and just so happen to have overwhelmingly pointed towards our current theory of evolution. Thankfully they had another tool to fall back on, sophistry.
