Point of order:
It was abiogenesis, whether there was a deity involved or not. Our understanding of the universe is sufficiently complete to be able to state that there was a point in the history of the universe when there was no life. Now there is. Ergo: abiogenesis, however you slice it. Whether it was by chemical means or supernatural, that was what happened.
Oh, and panspermia doesn't help here, directed or otherwise. It only pushes the problem back a step from Earth to somewhere else. In short, abiogenesis happened.
