"his [Pateur's] "no spontaneous generation" demonstration has absolutely nothing to do with the ultimate origin of life. "

It does show that it has been scientifically proven that at least nowadays there is no such thing as spontaneous generation of life. That is all that science knows about it right now. Now on a previous post (#517 posted just 19 minutes before the one I am responding to here!) you said that science can extrapolate from what it knows now to what is yet unknown. Therefore, the only scientific extrapolation that can be made (according to your previous statements) is that there can be no spontaneous creation of life.

It [Pasteur's work] does show that it has been scientifically proven that at least nowadays there is no such thing as spontaneous generation of life.

So, what are you saying? That prior to Pasteur, everyone was an evolutionist, and believed that life arose from non-life? Is that really what Pasteur was trying to disprove? If that were true, then you are saying that Pasteur was anti-evolution, and the whole world prior to him was pro-evolution. Do you believe that? Or are you just babbling? (Oh, again I forgot to whom I'm speaking.)
