This is the hypothesis that flies literally came from shit. How is this at all relevant? This theory was formed before scientists knew about cells and germs, much less the life development cycles of certain lifeforms.

Yes, that hypothesis was scrapped in favor of the explanation that was supported by the most evidence. That's how science works. I'm still failing to realize how this is at all relevant.
Abiogenesis happened AT LEAST once, to say it happened only once wouldn't be accurate.
