TToE is not the same as Abogenesis.

Unfortunately you can't have the one without the other.

Not true. You can have astronomy without the Origins of the Universe.

TToE does not deal with the origins of life. It deals with what happened after life began that led to humans.

Again, you have to look at the evidence. The picture the fossil record paints, combined with observed microevolution paint a clear picture and the forces that create that picture.

What preceded the picture isn't of direct importance.

From a post by Dimensio here.

I submit five hypothesis regarding the origin of the first life forms.

    a) Natural processes occuring entirely upon earth resulted in chains of self-replicating molecular strands that eventually became the first life forms.

    b) Aliens from another planet and/or dimension travelled to this planet and -- deliberately or accidentally -- seeded the planet with the first life forms.

    c) In the future, humans will develop a means to travel back in time. They will use this technology to plant the first life forms in Earth's past, making the existence of life a causality loop.

    d) A divine agent of unspecified nature zap-poofed the first life forms into existence.

    e) Any method other than the four described above led to the existence of the first life forms.

Evolution can proceed just fine with any of these five scenarios. Looks like you may be wrong.
