> The basic assumption of evolution is spontaneous generation.
An evolutionist must ultimately believe in abiogenesis.
But 'spontaneous generation' does not customarily refer to the
theory of evolution, but rather to the belief that, for example,
flies spontaneously arise from dung (Aristotle) or mice and
beetles spontaneously arise in granaries etc; this was an
explanation of familiar phenomena, not of ultimate origins.
