within the laws of nature, without any plan or arrangement. According
to the theory, inanimate matter must have produced a living cell as a result
of coincidences. Such a claim, however, is inconsistent with the most unas-
sailable rules of biology.

"Life Comes From Life"
In his book, Darwin never referred to the origin of life. The primitive
understanding of science in his time rested on the assumption that living
beings had a very simple structure. Since medieval times, spontaneous

generation, which asserts that non-living materials came together to form
living organisms, had been widely accepted. It was commonly believed
that insects came into being from food leftovers, and mice from wheat.
Interesting experiments were conducted to prove this theory. Some wheat
was placed on a dirty piece of cloth, and it was believed that mice would
originate from it after a while.
Similarly, maggots
developing in rotting
meat was assumed to be
evidence of spontaneous
generation. However, it
was later understood
that worms did not

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