...but, we just may be living in a 'spontaneous generation.'

Speaking of a generation gap, look who's claiming what!!

Way before Columbus sailed in 1492 ...even before Jesus was born, way back to even before the time of those great philosophers ...before Aristotle and before Plato, even before Socrates.

By the way, all of the aforementioned philosophers, including also Pythagoras ...believed the earth to be spherical.

But, there was also a group of 'thinkers', even before that ...who held beliefs that are similar to that which is widely promoted today.

Anaximander claimed that living creatures were first formed in the "wet" when acted on by the sun.  Anaximenes, a pupil of Anaximander, thought that air was the element that imparted life, motion and thought, and speculated that there was a primordial terrestrial slime.  Xenophanes traced the origin of man back to the transitional period between the fluid stage of the earth and the formation of land.  Empedocles also accepted the spontaneous generation of life. And Anaxagoras also adopted a terrestrial slime account.


Spontaneous generation is the belief that living matter can spontaneously generate from nonliving matter.  Isn't this what is being taught in our schools today?  Isn't this what we call 'evolution'?

Perhaps you're tired of hearing what I have to say ...or it could be that you're just tired.  You may not be Redi for what more I'm going to say because it may be Pasteur bedtime ...so perhaps try again tomorrow.
