Comparison of abiogenesis, biogenesis and spontaneous generation
Abiogenesis and Spontaneous generation refer to the ability for life to be created from non-living things. Both of these theories refer to life having origins not from another living entities but from non living material. The theory that all life comes from other living material, even at the cell level is called Biogenesis. The theory of Biogenesis has been accepted and proven based upon the research around the basic building blocks of life, cells. However, cells only go back so far in time, and therefore where did the first cells come from.
