Absolutely, that is why abiogenesis isn't part of the theory of evolution through natural selection. You finally got one right. You must be so proud!

The belief that 'natural selection' created biological systems rather than being an artifact of those systems is not restricted to abiogenesis. That is why I didn't mention it and any assumption that it is restricted to abiogenesis is a critical-thinking error.

All biological systems are believed to have been generated by 'natural selection' from fault-tolerant DNA coding scheme design to DNA error-correction schemes to sexual reproduction when 'natural selection' is an artifact of the existence of these systems. Unless an evolutionist believes that life magically 'poofed' itself into existence with these systems intact, there is no basis for 'natural selection' to create them.

This is also known as the 'fallacy of exclusion', where relevant evidence that would undermine an inductive argument is excluded from consideration.

It appears that we have circular reasoning (natural selection) supported by the fallacy of exclusion (abiogenesis excluded) as the foundations of evolution.
