Evolution assumes some kind of undirected (important!) abiogenesis to produce the first living organism

False. Evolution is a process by which one form of life becomes another. It is not concerned with the origins of life. Evolutionary theory does not state that the process is "undirected" -- only that no external supernatural force is required to explain observed phenomena.

If a sparrow falls, we may determine that it expired due to natural and well-understood biological causes, and that it fell because the force of gravity drew it to the nearest massive object, which we call Earth. Did God mean for the sparrow to fall? That is something science can neither prove nor disprove, and thus does not concern itself with.

What did the first cell evolve from then?
