Explain the theory of biogenesis

Answer 1

The theory of Biogenesis basically states that living things only come from previously living things and in no other way. This theory is based on all that is demonstrable, observable, and testable. It is oftten qualified by a secondary condition that is also all that is demonstrable, observable, and testable and that is that living things only come from previously living things of the exact same kind. The opposite theory called today "abiogenesis" against all that is demonstrable, observable, and testable declares that at some pont in the remote past the first of all livng things (however many varieties there were) developed from non-living things. The general theory here comes from the age old belief called Spontaneous Generation which has only been repeatedly disproven over and over in laboratory tests for the past 200 years. So being objective and open minded, and using our best Critical thinking, which theory should we lean toward and invest our research monies in? The demonstrable, ever observed, test confirming theory (biogenesis) or the non-demonstrated, never observed, test failing one (abiogenesis)?

Answer 2

Rudolf Birchow introduced the concept of biogenesis: living cells can arise only from preexisting cells (1858).
