Well if God created the universe with the intention of creating life then he would have designed all the physical processes that lead to life there wasn't any need to magic life straight into existence. I'm not sure if even Genesis shows God doing producing anything directly. He says "let there be this that and the other" and "be fruitful and multiply" and so on, it seems fairly hands off until he gets to humanity. So if a Christian is being clever they can claim that abiogeneisis supports the Biblical account of creation. When it says God made us from the clay of the Earth it could be crystals in the inorganic sediment around hydrothermal vents and the universe was set up to do this from the start.
