> Your answer indicated that you may believe this is how matter and life itself came into being,

Uhh.... no. I *really* suggest you read it all again, and then consider long and hard what your conclusions are. Here, I'll help you:
1) Assume photons spontaneously appear from the quantum flux.
2) This means spontaneous generation of mass-energy (matter)
3) This says *nothing* about the generation of *life*.

> Are you sure you are not leaning toward the old spontaneous generation?

Of life? Not in the slightest. This is not, after all, a thread about cosmogenesis, but one about biogenesis and evolution. "Spontaneous generation of life" is a concept used today SOLELY by Creationists, as a form of strawman arguement against science. It is lame, it is dishonest, it is intellectually lazy, it is at it's core evil... but then, that's Creationism in a nutshell.

Oh, just matter itself is what spontaneously generated. I see.

I will ignore the hyperbole.
