WOOHOO, now we can talk abiogenesis.

OK, Creos, here's your chance to talk about abiogenesis without getting wiped off the table for not understanding evolution.

THIS IS ABIOGENESIS, the thing you guys always want to talk about, so, LET'S TALK ABOUT IT!!!

We must put to bed the hoary notion that Louis Pasteur "proved" that life cannot arise from non-living material. Instead, what he disproved, was the very different idea floading around in his day, called Spontaneous Generation. Contrary to the endless lies found on varous creationist websites (hideous centers of ignorance and duplicity), Pasteur never proved (and never attempted to prove) anything about the ultimate origin of life on earth.

Unanimated material.

Becomes.

Animated material.

The question regarding abiogenesis, does life require an animator or does nature have the capacity to animate?

[metacognative]

Sure, I believe in Spontaneous Generation... alchemy from molecules to man, your mind is nothing but atoms bumping into each other. I wanna be a good darwinite..so I won't question ludicrous assumptions that would make medieval peasants laugh.
