Do creationists believe in abiogenesis?

Answer 1

Yes and no.

They reject the theory of abiogenesis, which holds that early earth's chemical reactions led to the eventual creation of a molecule that could replicate itself and was a progenitor of DNA.

However, creationists believe in a form of abiogenesis because the word abiogenesis means "live coming from non-living matter." If we are to take the book of Genesis literally, then man (living) was created from mud (non-living matter).

No, creationists typically do not believe in abiogenesis. They believe that life was created by a divine entity or intelligent designer, rather than arising spontaneously from non-living matter as proposed by abiogenesis.
