The fact of spontaneous generation

The reason the fundamentalists (ape ancestry deniers) don't believe in spontaneous generation is that they haven't gone to the right schools. (Christian schools and home schooling have led them into this error.) Only bigoted, bible believing fools don't believe this idea; an idea that is as obviously true as is the fact the earth goes around the sun. (These poor creationists think the earth orbits heaven itself; such is the depth of their ignorance.)

These flat earthers are going against all accepted opinion when they deny spontaneous generation. In the opinion of many (e.g. our great friend Daniel Dennett) they should have their children taken away from them. Our society depends on science and people who deny spontaneous generation are against science. This makes them enemies of our society and all it stands for.

Where do these sad people get their ideas? Well, from their old book. It tells them that spontaneous generation is from the Devil, and so they won't accept it. This is medieval thinking at its worst. We can have no sympathy with these people, they must be forcibly removed from the public scene; they must be taught to conform to society or to lose any hope of having a place in it. Spontaneous generation is a fact affirmed by every respectable scientist in the world today. Only the demon haunted backward creationist denies it.

We see spontaneous generation everywhere we look. It's as obvious as breathing. The only people who can't see it are blind; people who have deliberately blinded themselves. No criticism of this fact of science should be allowed in our schools. The creationists must be kept from confusing our students with their nonsense.

Notes;
1. "If we do not accept the hypothesis of spontaneous generation we must have recourse to the miracle of a supernatural creation." - Ernest Haeckel
2. 'It should also be expressly noted that Darwin had made the theory of organic evolution "a going concern," as J. Arthur Thomson expresses it, long years before spontaneous generation was definitely refuted; so that in a certain sense it may be said that all the founders of evolution were ignorant of the profound truth that life can come only from antecedent life of a similar kind. In other words, evolution was to a certain extent founded on a belief in spontaneous generation. - G. M. Price (The Predicament of Evolution/ch 10)
