Law of biogenesis

"La génération spontanée est une chimère" (Louis Pasteur)

Pasteur's (and others) empirical results were summarized in the phrase, Omne vivum ex vivo, Latin for "all life [is] from life.", also known as the "law of biogenesis".

No life has ever been observed to arise from dead matter.

There is in fact a "law of biogenesis".

Yes there was. And it was totally discredited a hundred years ago. Ontology does not recapitulate phylogeny. How the hell do we get this off of Wikipedia? Looks like the creationists have been busy editing articles there.

Apparently it is very easy to get it off of Wikipedia. I just edited it. :D No idea if it will stick, but my URL reference is just as good as anybody else's.

It's not referring to Haeckel's biogenetic law. Just something Loius Pasteur discovered, that 'spontaneous generation' is practically impossible. Has nothing to do with abiogenesis, though.
