Life from Death

"There is no scientific proof whatever that life ever has been produced from non-living matter, nor that one species has ever changed into another, nor is there any proof of the extremely primitive condition through which it is alleged that man rose to his present position.  'To talk of the evolution of thought from sea-slime to amoeba, and from amoeba to a self-conscious man," says Louis T. More, "means nothing; it is the easy solution of the thoughtless mind...Let the biologist in the laboratory produce a living cell which has not been derived from other living matter.  Until he creates a living cell from dead matter he is in the same class as was Aristotle who tells us that dust breeds fleas.'" - Loraine Boetttner, Immortality, p. 76.
