No.
Believing that inert chemicals organized themselves into self replicating cells was somehow providential does not make you a creationist.
In common parlance, a biblical creationist is someone who believes all life was created as it exists today by divine intervention, and literally consistent with the mythology written in the Jewish scripture of Genesis.

Even my own personal theory,
that the universe and all that exists within it are merely the result of the random confluence of sub atomic particles in the vacuum of infinite space,
cannot explain the source of the sub-atomic particles.
The big bang's initial super-mass had to itself have a source before exploding into an infinite expansion which is the universe as it exists today.
And what came before that?
We as a species haven't the bio/chemical/mechanical computing power to figure that out, obviously.
We can only think in time -relative terms.
But we've been all too good, it seems,
at making shit up.

abiogenesis is not a hypothesis, that is why it is not falsifiable.
Abiogenesis is a fact, by the standards of science.
Self-replicating cells really did emerge from a pre-biotic soup in the remote past, and this can be demostrated by fossil evidence and isotopic data.
Abiogenesis actually happened, so no one is wasting their time trying to falsify it.
Scientists should ultimately be able to devise experiments to corroborate or refute the proposed hypothetical mechanisms for abiogenesis, aka the RNA hypothesis, the metabolism-first hypothesis, etc.
