The concept of spontaneous generation was the idea that life could form out of nowhere, like fleas from dust. The abandonment of this idea in place of more modern ideas of cell theory and germ theory marked a great forward movement in understanding of Biology.

When a man leaves his home is that abandoment?

When a man leaves his home, whether it constitutes abandonment depends on the context and circumstances surrounding his departure. If he intends to return and maintains connections with his home, it's typically not considered abandonment. However, if he leaves without any intention of returning and neglects his responsibilities, it may be viewed as abandonment. Legal definitions can vary, so the specific situation and local laws play a significant role in determining this status.

Yes. Weed gets better with every new generation. When you take the seed from a plant and plant a new one the new plant is the 2nd generation. So in theory not only is weed better today, but it will be even better in the future.
