(August 14, 2013 at 1:36 pm)Cthulhu Dreaming Wrote: What Pasteur discovered was wrong was the theory of "spontaneous generation", which was a competing theory of biogenesis, which is now known as abiogenesis (and which we know a hell of a lot more about than Pasteur or Darwin ever dreamed of).ALTER2EGO -to- CTHULHU DREAMING:
You are confused. Spontaneous generation was never a competing theory of biogenesis because spontaneous generation/abiogenesis is the exact opposite of biogenesis. Whereas spontaneous generation/abiogenesis refer to life coming to life from non-life, by itself, Biogenesis refers to life coming to life from preexisting life.
DEFINITION OF "BIOGENESIS":
"bi•o•gen•e•sis (b-jn-ss) also bi•og•e•ny (b-j-n)
n.
1. The principle that living organisms develop only from other living organisms and not from nonliving matter.
2. Generation of living organisms from other living organisms."

The debunked theory of abiogenesis/spontaneous generation is the life-line for atheists who insist there is no Jehovah.
