Darwin did NOT discuss any theories about abiogenesis in his books. He did
not need to do that since he already knew how life began on this planet.
He knew that God created mankind and an endless number of beautiful and
wonder plants and animals. Read this:

Darwin may NOT have used the word "God" in his book. However, it's
possible that the word "creator" or "by the creator" was used in at least
one edition of his book. Read the article below for the details:

The oldest of the sources for the new Genesis, D, would be Charles
Darwin's The Origin of Species. D is by far the most humane of the three
writers�warm, observant, a superb anecdotalist, similar in some respects
to the old Bible's J. And he would provide knotty issues for future
scholars to argue over. For instance, which version of Origin's last
sentence should be accepted as orthodox? Should it be the first edition's
"There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having
been Originally breathed into a few forms or into one ..."? Or the second
edition's version, in which after the word "breathed" D inserted the words
"by the Creator"?
