I dunno about yer creationists, or yer genesis..
but I am unconvinced of darwinian alchemy from
simple base to complex value, by mere chance.
But no one claims evolution happens by mere chance.
Who said anything about "mere chance"?
The universe -- and man --- is no more a chance result than a souffle?
Doesn't mean it wasn't made by mixing in certain ingredients and baking just so.
God is the ultimate cook.
God created "chance". I see no problem in abiogensis happening by "chance", since God created it in the first place.
How many times does it have to be explained to you that the process of evolution involves more than "mere chance", before it finally sinks in?
Selection, another component of evolution -- something most schoolchildren know -- is not random.
