However, five years after the publication of Darwin's book, Louis Pasteur
announced his results after long studies and experiments, that disproved
spontaneous generation, a cornerstone of Darwin's theory. In his triumphal
lecture at the Sorbonne in 1864, Pasteur said: "Never will the doctrine of spon-
taneous generation recover from the mortal blow struck by this simple ex-
periment." 67

For a long time, advocates of the theory of evolution resisted these findings.
However, as the development of science unraveled the complex structure of the
cell of a living being, the idea that life could come into being coincidentally
faced an even greater impasse.

Through his experiments, Louis Pasteur invalidated
the idea that “life can emerge from inanimate mat-
ter,” on which the theory of evolution is based.
