Spontaneous generation theory

The theory of life spontaneous generation was spread in Ancient China and in Ancient Egypt as alternative to creationism with which it co-existed. Aristotle was the follower of the spontaneous life appearance theory being the representative and even the founder of biology. According to this theory the certain elements of the matter have the active part that is able to create the live organism in favourable conditions. Aristotle was right considering that this part is located in the fecundated ovule but he was wrong considering that it can be also found in the sun light, slime and decomposing meat.

With the spread of Christianity the theory of spontaneous life birth became not so spread and was recognised only by people who believed in magic and worshipped the evil forces, but this theory still existed.

The known scientist Van Helmut described the experiment in the result of which he created mice in three weeks. And everything he needed for it is the dirty shirt, the dark wardrobe and the handful of wheat. The active point in this process scientist considered to be the human sweat.

During the next years scientist proved that all experiments held before were the life from another life following the conception of biogenesis. But these explanations didn't lead to the refuse from this conception and it was still the main theory of the life origin.

But in the result of Pasteur experiments this conception was disapproved finally.
