Abiogenesis vs Biogenesis. Which is more believable?
First, let's define what we mean by abiogenesis:
a·bi·o·gen·e·sis (ā′bī-ō-jĕn′ĭ-sĭs)
n.
The supposed development of living organisms from nonliving matter. Also called autogenesis, spontaneous generation.
Believability
To believe something is to be certain that it is true and to have valid reasons for such a belief. Millions of people today are taught since childhood that abiogenesis is a proven fact, and that its rejection is evidence of ignorance. Those who accept this seem to conclude that the evidence in favor of the idea is overwhelming. After all, why else would scientists propagate and demand that it be accepted as fact? If a scientist declares something a fact, we all assume that he has observational and experimental evidence as a foundation for his belief-right. Why? Well, because science demands that an firm belief be supported by observational or experimental evidence
What other reason could men of science have to be glibly assuming that it did happen in the ancient past and that it is in fact happening all over the universe, or multi-universe, if there indeed is such a thing. A little bit of water, a few chemicals, and given enormous amounts of time, they glibly say, and millions of happy accidents and poof! Life pops up, programs itself for a multitude of complex procedures involving intricate self-repair and self-replication mechanisms just to make sure it can continue.
Sounds incredibly cool doesn't it? Unfortunately for its proponents, they have zero evidence to support their idea. Why? simple: because they have:
1. Never observed directly to occur in nature
2. Never have been able to force it to occur under controlled laboratory conditions

Biogenesis
Biogenesis
life arising from life..
life arising from life..
In stark contrast, biogenesis, life arising from life, has been:
1. Observed to happen billions of times in nature
2. Easily repeated under controlled laboratory conditions
