The Myth of Spontaneous Generation

See if your child’s biology textbook says something like my high school biology textbook (Modern Biology):

“The myth of spontaneous generation... Pasteur’s decisive defeat of spontaneous generation...So it was that Louis Pasteur substited a proved and valid concept, biogenesis, for a theory which had been accepted for centuries without any real evidence. Life comes only from life. Experimental evidence has borne this out from the time of Pasteur to the present day. However, we cannot assume that abiogenesis has never occurred, nor that it could never happen again." [emphasis mine, KC.]

Spontaneous generation is a myth; it’s been decisively defeated as a scientific fact, but it must have happened- folks, that’s not science, that’s stupidity!
