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."

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/biogenesis



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

Here's a little history.
In the old days before people really understood about microscopic creatures they believed that life spontaneously appeared from nowhere because they had no understanding that the air is full of bacteria and spores or that flies laid eggs in exposed meat.

Quote:Spontaneous generation is an obsolete body of thought on the ordinary formation of living organisms without descent from similar organisms. Typically, the idea was that certain forms such as fleas could arise from inanimate matter such as dust, or that maggots could arise from dead flesh. A variant idea was that of equivocal generation, in which species such as tapeworms arose from unrelated living organisms, now understood to be their hosts.

This old debunked theory was commonly used to explain maggots and not to explain the origin of life.

Abiogenesis may have only happened once but that would be enough to explain all life on earth and it is the only real explanation that actually has a chance of being real.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
