Spontaneous Generation has never been disproved, and, by its very nature, can never be.

Pasteur disproved a particular form of it - maggots, mice and mold, etc don't appear in broth or meat if flies, spores, etc, are blocked.

There are too many negatives here, aren't there? Never been disproved ==> proved and thus by its very nature can never be?? ?????

This is a very common experiment now in high school using covered jars.
