∙ 14y agoThe old theory that living things came from non-living things was known as the theory of spontaneous generation, a theory which we now know to be wrong. This should not be confused with Darwin's theory of evolution, which also involves living things arising from non-living things. In the case of evolution, it is a very gradual process. Spontaneous generation is much more sudden.
