"Spontaneous Generation Redux

For more than one hundred years biologists have taught that spontaneous generation of life from non-living matter (believed in by the ancient Romans) was disproved by the work of Redi, Spallanzani, and ultimately Pasteur in 1859. This work was so conclusive, that biology codified the "Law of Biogenesis," which states that life only comes from previously existing life.

However, in recent decades, it is amazing to consider that "modern" abiogenesis protagonists have actually revived spontaneous generation (in a biochemical form) in the minds of many biologists! This revived "creation myth" is tenaciously (even irrationally) adhered to, despite the lack of a convincing body of evidence to show that abiogenesis did happen --and not even with a coherent schema of biochemical mechanisms and pathways to theorize and demonstrate how such spontaneous generation could have a reasonable probability of occurring.
