Yes, abiogenesis. While it does not contradict the theory of evolution, it is not part of the theory of evolution. Thus anyone who states that evolution is wrong because life cannot be created in a lab (or other various "first life" hasn't/can't happens) is just proving that they don't know what the theory of evolution is.
Bottom line. All of the work concerning abiogensis could be completely wrong. But the theory of evolution won't care one bit. The theory of evolution stands on its own merits, not on the merits of abiogensis.
Actually, Universal Common Ancestry is predicated on certain ideas about abiogenesis. There is no fossil link between Cambrian and pre-Cambrian species. To say that they all share a common ancestor is not based on physical evidence, but instead upon the assumptions that abiogenesis happened at one point in time to make a certain kind of organism.
If you didn't have a certain assumption of abiogenesis, there would be no reason to assume the common ancestry of the Cambrian phyla (or many other phyla for that matter).
So yes, the theory of evolution is heavily tied into abiogenesis, even if it tries to deny it.
