The Origin of Life





                                           Evolutionists hold that living things spontaneously
                                           formed themselves from inanimate matter. However,
                                           this is a medieval superstition contradicting the main

           rule of life is       springs to mind when Darwin's theory is mentioned. Before coming to

                          the effects of wind, rain, and lightning. This evolutionary claim,
                          however, is contrary to one of the most fundamental rules of
                          biology: Life comes only from life, which means that inanimate
                          matter cannot generate life.
                          The belief that inanimate matter can produce life is actually a
                          medieval superstition. According to this theory, called "spontaneous
                          generation", it was believed that mice sprang naturally from wheat, or
                          maggots arose "spontaneously" from meat. At the time when Darwin put
                          forward his theory, the belief that microbes of their own accord formed
