Biogenesis

First of all, it's not actually a law, although it's sometimes refered to as a law. But more importantly, IT IS BEING TAUGHT IN SCHOOL, unless of course you don't pay attention in class. Yeah, and oxygen gas is probably the most widely used compound in the history of man, and yet you won't find it mentioned once in any history book. Why? Because it's a duh kinda thing, unless you're a special kind of idiot. I don't know what you are smoking, but when I was in high school a kazillion years ago when certain hypotheses of abiogenesis were introduced our teacher kept repeating that they were all educated guesses, nothing more.Abiogenesis is not "full of faith". We know for a fact that organic compounds form naturally under certain conditions. Scientists have been able to observe pre-cells form naturally under certain conditions. While abiogenesis is still in its infancy, it is definitely not based on faith.Go ahead and try this some time. Go to any college or university and talk to any biology professor about abiogensis. You're going to get a lot of I-don't-knows and it's-hard-to-says because that's the truth. Unlike religionists who are know-it-alls, people in academia are at least more honest about what they do and don't know.

A word of advice. Using more than 2 big words in a sentence gives away the fact that you're trying really hard to impress people. But what really gives you away is your wrongful accusation of an ad hominem. Some people, like myself, have grown quite clever at wording our arguments to make them look fallacious to the typical newbie. In fact, it's second nature for me and I don't even think about it anymore.That said, perhaps you'd like to counter my argument rather than just throwing out big words?Added by edit.By the way, you do realize that what you did was quote-mining, yes?Edited by Taz, : No reason given.Edited by Taz, : No reason given.

As has been pointed out to you many times, the so-called "law of biogenesis" isn't usually referred to as "law of biogensis". Instead, the concept is taught pretty much from 5th grade in just about every curriculum in the country. Again, have you been paying attention in your biology classes? Heck, I even remember learning about Pasteur and the scientific discipline that resulted from his experiments in history class. Just so you know, it's not strawman in this particular case. It's just simple misunderstanding.You really ought to familiarize yourself more with the fallacies before you use them on the battlefield... I mean during debate.

Huh? I was talking about you quote-mining me. You specifically left out all the contents with meat and only quoted the side comments to give the impression that the side comments were the entirety of my argument. Haha, ok.

Well, most real doctors used to fall out of their chairs laughing when they were told to wash their hands before doing anything with their patients. This was, of course, before the germ theory of disease.Doctors make lousy scientists.
