I am just amazed at the lengths you will go to avoid admitting that the quotation was fabricated

Making a poster bow down is tiresome and distracting. But you are welcome to retract your claim that Pasteur said "absolutely nothing about biogenesis." You could be the model poster.

Fine. Pasteur addressed the biogenesis theory of his time. But not biogenesis as it has been understood for the last hundred years. Not even as it was understood by Darwin -- which is the frame of reference for the current discussion.

Darwin's warm little pond seems rather quaint today, but his discussion of biogenesis lead to Miller, and Miller has lead to more sophisticated experiments.
