They aren't satisfied with the notion that their god is a biological entity (by and large)- life, even in their fairy tale, comes from non-life. Of course, a more accurate view of abiogenesis as it relates to science is that it is a hypothesis that states that life arises by means of a natural process from organic compounds - I can think of a couple of creation myths that don't escape this - so I never understood what they were bitching about anyway. Clots of blood and dirt both contain plenty of organic compounds - for example. It just boils down, imho, to their god not being invited to some party.
