Principles of Geology or, The Modern Changes of the Earth and its Inhabitants Considered as Illustrative of Geology In the same way the doctrine of evolution necessitates as a corollary the doctrine of spontaneous generation. The Mechanism of Life Accordingly, as Professor Huxley acknowledges, spontaneous generation is an evolutionary necessity. The Old Riddle and the Newest Answer As far as science can tell, spontaneous generation is still a myth, having no basis in observation, no warrant in experiment. The Arena Volume 18, No. 93, August, 1897 That all the theories of spontaneous generation and derivation hitherto promulgated are but wild guesses at it is but too evident.

Logic, Inductive and Deductive If spontaneous generation exists, it is a factor in evolution. The Arena Volume 18, No. 93, August, 1897 Therefore, since this suggestion is on the face of it a mere evasion of the difficulty, the theory of spontaneous generation naturally arose.

The Mechanism of Life Monera—formless little lumps of mucus matter supposed to be originated by spontaneous generation. The Church Handy Dictionary Again and again she has witnessed the spontaneous generation and blossoming of civic prosperity; she has seen the glory and pride of Nuremberg and Heidelberg, of Cologne and Frankfurt, the art of Dürer and Holbein. German Problems and Personalities Opinions differ as to whether spontaneous generation took place only in the beginning of evolution, or whether it occurred repeatedly and is still going on. Naturalism And Religion It is quite true that the testimony of our century, so far as it goes, is all against the idea of "spontaneous generation" under existing conditions. A History of Science, Volume 5(of 5) Aspects Of Recent Science Whatever may be the verdict as to the author's case for spontaneous generation, all will agree that the book is a most brilliant and stimulating study, founded on the personal investigation of a born experimenter. The Mechanism of Life But when scientists speak of the principle of life as being the outcome of an act of spontaneous generation without any external creative power, then we must disagree with them. The Church Handy Dictionary The question of where protoplasm came from—how it arose—chemistry is unable to answer; but the question is answered, probably, by spontaneous generation. Was Man Created? He therefore maintains that life has always existed in the cosmos, and entirely rejects spontaneous generation. Naturalism And Religion Was it through a mere process of spontaneous generation that they sprang up to alter by their genius and overwhelming will the destinies of the world? Arrows of Freethought This possibility is eliminated, he contends, by the occurrence of spontaneous generation. Medical Investigation in Seventeenth Century England Papers Read at a Clark Library Seminar, October 14, 1967 I think it is a fair statement of the position of science to-day to say that there is no evidence whatever of spontaneous generation, excepting the presence of life upon the globe. The Meaning of Evolution The answer may come to this—Well, suppose the first protoplasm did originate by spontaneous generation, where did the elements or force come from which compose it? Was Man Created? Very vigorous and convincing are the author's objections to the naturalistic theories of organic life, especially to the “self-origin” of the living, or spontaneous generation. Naturalism And Religion The question whether Alexander, Napoleon, Homer, Bacon and Shakespeare came through a process of spontaneous generation is excruciatingly ludicrous. Arrows of Freethought We speak of spontaneous generation, spontaneous combustion, spontaneous sympathy, an involuntary start, an unbidden tear, voluntary agreement, willing submission. English Synonyms and Antonyms With Notes on the Correct Use of Prepositions Such crude ideas of spontaneous generation are no longer possible. The Meaning of Evolution At this stage in the history of the earth, then, the little mass of protoplasm, which we have spoken so much about, came into existence in all probability, as has been stated, by spontaneous generation. Was Man Created? That origin is not due to spontaneous generation, according to the testimony of the most enlightened scientists, Professor Haeckel to the contrary notwithstanding.

Letters on the Cholera Morbus. Containing ample evidence that this disease, under whatever name known, cannot be transmitted from the persons of those labouring under it to other individuals, by contact—through the medium of inanimate substances—or through the medium of the atmosphere; and that all restrictions, by cordons and quarantine regulations, are, as far as regards this disease, not merely useless, but highly injurious to the community. It seeks for spontaneous generation, but never finds it. The Christian Foundation, Or, Scientific and Religious Journal, Volume I, No. 11, November, 1880 Therefore the efforts of unbelievers to produce organic life, by spontaneous generation, is an effort to create organic life. The Christian Foundation, Or, Scientific and Religious Journal, Volume I, No. 9. September, 1880 But the concession is, that spontaneous generation is not to be an observed fact.

The Christian Foundation, Or, Scientific and Religious Journal, Volume I, No. 9. September, 1880 All unbelievers who advocate the idea of spontaneous generation try to get more out of matter than there was in it, viz: life, sensation, intelligence and moral nature. The Christian Foundation, Or, Scientific and Religious Journal, Volume 1, January, 1880 But these are but the echoes of the past; we do not believe nowadays in "spontaneous generation," nor in sudden transformations of lower into higher forms of life. More Science From an Easy Chair For centuries a controversy raged at intervals around the question of spontaneous generation. Science and Morals and Other Essays First simple monera are formed by spontaneous generation, and from these arise unicellular protists.... Life and Matter A Criticism of Professor Haeckel's 'Riddle of the Universe' The efforts of unbelievers to produce organic life by spontaneous generation, is an effort to produce organic life where it is not. The Christian Foundation, Or, Scientific and Religious Journal, Volume I, No. 9. September, 1880 Unbeliever, are you mocking the Bible because somebody said the Lord created something of nothing, and at the same time advocating spontaneous generation, and thereby professing to get more evolved than was involved? The Christian Foundation, Or, Scientific and Religious Journal, Volume 1, January, 1880 For readers who are not familiar with these subjects, it may be well to mention, that the weight of authority is decidedly against this doctrine of spontaneous generation. A Theory of Creation: A Review of 'Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation' True, the negative proposition cannot be proved, hence it is impossible to say that spontaneous generation does not take place. Science and Morals and Other Essays So far, however, all effort at spontaneous generation has been a failure; possibly because some essential ingredient or condition was omitted, possibly because great lapse of time was necessary. Life and Matter A Criticism of Professor Haeckel's 'Riddle of the Universe' By a series of such experiments Redi destroyed the belief in the spontaneous generation of maggots in meat, and with it doubtless many related beliefs. Fragments of science, V. 1-2 Nature has directly created none but the lowest organisms; these she is still producing every day, they being, as it were, the first sketches of life, and produced by what is called spontaneous generation. Evolution, Old & New Or, the Theories of Buffon, Dr. Erasmus Darwin and Lamarck, as compared with that of Charles Darwin He attempts to account for a string of hypothetical effects, such as spontaneous generation and the transmutation of species, by a series of hypothetical and inconceivable causes, such as the energies of lifeless matter. A Theory of Creation: A Review of 'Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation' It was a philosophical, but not strictly scientific, controversy, for both persons accepted or assumed the existence of spontaneous generation. Science and Morals and Other Essays In the present case, a delicate physiological problem has become as popular as theories on epigenesis, spontaneous generation, or Darwinian evolution, and for an analogous reason. The Education of American Girls In all cases the correspondence between my experiments and those of Schroeder, Pasteur, and Lister in regard to spontaneous generation was perfect. Fragments of science, V. 1-2 M. Vogt, in a communication to the Académie, adds to the proofs that what is called the spontaneous generation of certain worms, is due to natural causes. Chambers's Edinburgh Journal, No. 452 Volume 18, New Series, August 28, 1852 From this he thinks it but a slight step to admit the possibility of spontaneous generation, and he accordingly does admit it. The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 17, No. 103, May, 1866 In the first place quite a number of ignorant persons have thought that the discovery of spontaneous generation would upset religious dogmata.

Lamarck, the Founder of Evolution His Life and Work He believed spontaneous generation to be a phenomenon constantly taking place, and constantly giving the possibility of new lines of evolution. Form and Function A Contribution to the History of Animal Morphology But we have no experience either of spontaneous generation on the one hand, or of a transmutation of species on the other. Modern Atheism under its forms of Pantheism, Materialism, Secularism, Development, and Natural Laws But his refutation of the doctrine of spontaneous generation is not the less valid on this account. Fragments of science, V. 1-2 A relic of the ancient belief in spontaneous generation is still found in the supposition that horse-hair snakes, so-called, are really formed from the hairs of horses. Plain Facts for Old and Young This series of animals beginning with two branches where are situated the most imperfect, the first of these branches received their existence only by direct or spontaneous generation. Lamarck, the Founder of Evolution His Life and Work No law of Natural Philosophy is more firmly established than this, That there is no spontaneous generation, nor transmutation of species. Fables of Infidelity and Facts of Faith Being an Examination of the Evidences of Infidelity The experiments of Ehrenberg, instituted with the view of testing the doctrine of spontaneous generation, may be said to have decided the whole question. Modern Atheism under its forms of Pantheism, Materialism, Secularism, Development, and Natural Laws They do not prove spontaneous generation to be 'impossible.' Fragments of science, V. 1-2 But if scientific experiment has shown anything it has shown the unreality of what was called "spontaneous generation." Evolution An Investigation and a Critique Most Darwinians attempt to pass this gulf on the imaginary bridge of spontaneous generation. What is Darwinism? From the beginning of the world to the present day, no man has ever observed an instance of the spontaneous generation of life. Fables of Infidelity and Facts of Faith Being an Examination of the Evidences of Infidelity The author of "The Vestiges" felt this, and virtually acknowledges it when he undertakes the task of vindicating the credibility of spontaneous generation. Modern Atheism under its forms of Pantheism, Materialism, Secularism, Development, and Natural Laws The checks which experience alone can furnish being absent, the spontaneous generation of creatures quite as high as the frog in the scale of being was assumed for ages to be a fact. Fragments of science, V. 1-2 Again spontaneous generation was appealed to in order to explain their presence. Evolution An Investigation and a Critique He does not adopt the theory of spontaneous generation. What is Darwinism? Lamarck believed in spontaneous generation; Darwin does not. Fables of Infidelity and Facts of Faith Being an Examination of the Evidences of Infidelity The theory rests on two very precarious foundations: the assumption of spontaneous generation, on the one hand, and the assumption of a transmutation of species on the other. Modern Atheism under its forms of Pantheism, Materialism, Secularism, Development, and Natural Laws In the present article, therefore, I propose discussing this question face to face with some eminent and fair-minded member of the medical profession who, as regards spontaneous generation, entertains views adverse to mine. Fragments of science, V. 1-2 The origin of these grubs was referred to the power of "spontaneous generation." Evolution An Investigation and a Critique We are aware that this apparent impossibility is evaded by the believers in spontaneous generation, who hold that such germ cells may be produced anywhere and at all times. What is Darwinism? Like the ancient runes, it came into being by spontaneous generation, and lived in phonetic tradition. The Story of the Hymns and Tunes The theory of spontaneous generation is rejected by the philosophical mind, because our experience tells us that everything has its antecedent, and that there is and can be no end to the causal sequences. The Breath of Life And those to whom I refer as having studied this question, believing the evidence offered in favour of "spontaneous generation" to be vitiated by error, cannot accept it. Fragments of science, V. 1-2 Since that time all men of science agree that there is no such thing demonstrable as spontaneous generation. Evolution An Investigation and a Critique To fully appreciate some of the facts mentioned below it must be borne in mind that there is no such thing as “spontaneous generation” of life. A Book of Natural History Young Folks' Library Volume XIV. That calf is the only really authentic example of spontaneous generation, of effect without cause. Among Famous Books The god of spontaneous generation is as miraculous as any other god. The Breath of Life Those to whom I refer as having studied this question, believing the evidence offered in favour of 'spontaneous generation' to be thus vitiated, cannot accept it. Fragments of science, V. 1-2 In their experiments, for instance, on spontaneous generation, what untold pains have been taken! Is Life Worth Living? Repeatedly have scientific observers believed that they have come on instances of spontaneous generation, but further examination has invariably shown that they have been mistaken. The Relations Between Religion and Science Eight Lectures Preached Before the University of Oxford in the Year 1884 He had already secured a notable place in science when the public learned his name through the memorable contest between him and Pouchet over “spontaneous generation.” Musical Memories Those who reject the idea of creation are divided into two schools, some believing that the first germ of life came from another planet and others holding that it was the result of spontaneous generation. The Art of Public Speaking Is there then no experimental proof of spontaneous generation? Fragments of science, V. 1-2 The first great work of Pasteur in biological investigation was his successful demonstration of the impossibility of spontaneous generation. Notable Events of the Nineteenth Century Great Deeds of Men and Nations and the Progress of the World Several Observations and Examinations made of them: several Considerations about spontaneous generation arising from the putrefaction of Bodies. Micrographia Some Physiological Descriptions of Minute Bodies Made by Magnifying Glasses with Observations and Inquiries Thereupon He repeated the series of Pasteur's experiments for himself before making a pronouncement on the much-debated question of spontaneous generation. Thomas Henry Huxley A Character Sketch The possibility of spontaneous generation cannot be denied, but that it takes place is against all human experience. Disease and Its Causes The law of relativity may to some extent explain the different attitudes of two such persons with regard to the question of spontaneous generation. Fragments of science, V. 1-2 Those who used the story were not slow to suggest that, had the Bill become law, the failure of spontaneous generation in the Connemara potato patch might have been typical of much analogous disillusionment elsewhere. Ireland In The New Century A modern version of this old belief was the idea advanced by Harvey that the ovum consisted of fluid in which the embryo appeared by spontaneous generation. Taboo and Genetics A Study of the Biological, Sociological and Psychological Foundation of the Family From this it is clear that we dare not infer spontaneous generation after heat until we know the life-history of the organism. Scientific American Supplement, No. 470, January 3, 1885 The old idea of "spontaneous generation," for many years relegated to the scrap-pile of Science, is again coming to the front. A Series of Lessons in Gnani Yoga All the materials for spontaneous generation are there, but so long as there is no seed sown, there is no life developed, and no sign of that fermentation which is the concomitant of life. Fragments of science, V. 1-2 Here apparently was an entirely new foundation for the doctrine of spontaneous generation. Q. E. D., or New Light on the Doctrine of Creation We cannot tell how living forms first came on earth; for they could not arise by spontaneous generation, in spite of all that Dr. Bastian may say. The Ethics of Drink and Other Social Questions Joints In Our Social Armour The mind revolts at the idea of spontaneous generation; in all the researches of the ages no scientist has found a single instance of life that was not begotten by life. In His Image "But how," said the doctor, "can you grant spontaneous generation, and believe in a Creator?" Paul Faber, Surgeon The combat was continued by Vallisneri, Schwammerdam, and Réaumur, who succeeded in banishing the notion of spontaneous generation from the scientific minds of their day. Fragments of science, V. 1-2 What essentially is involved in saying that there is no spontaneous generation of life? Q. E. D., or New Light on the Doctrine of Creation Bastian, Dr. H. C., a physiologist, born at Truro; a materialist in his theory of life; a zealous advocate of the doctrine of spontaneous generation; b. The Nuttall Encyclopædia Being a Concise and Comprehensive Dictionary of General Knowledge But, if we accept the doctrine of spontaneous generation we will have to spend our time explaining why spontaneous generation ceased to act after the first germ of life was created. In His Image "I take the evidence," answered the curate, "to be in favor of what they so absurdly call spontaneous generation." Paul Faber, Surgeon They no more believe in the spontaneous generation of such diseases, than they do in the spontaneous generation of mice. Fragments of science, V. 1-2 Thus, the denial of spontaneous generation leads back to the hypothesis of spontaneity: what is there in much-derided metaphysics more contradictory? System of Economical Contradictions; or, the Philosophy of Misery "Equivocal generation" is the old term used to denote spontaneous generation of this sort. The Rape of the Lock and Other Poems It belongs to the same class of idle speculations as "spontaneous generation" in the infusorial world--a subject that will be considered as we advance in this work. Life: Its True Genesis Well-nigh all the theories of antique Aesthetic reappear in the Middle Ages, as it were by spontaneous generation. Aesthetic as Science of Expression and General Linguistic On them, on the contrary, he founds a defence of the doctrine of spontaneous generation, and a general theory of spontaneous development. Fragments of science, V. 1-2 Indeed, if spontaneous generation were possible at the beginning of life, it is possible now, and has been possible during all the ages. The Evolution of Man Scientifically Disproved In 50 Arguments First.—With regard to the first question, that of the possibility of spontaneous generation, the speaker gave a decided negative. Scientific American Supplement, No. 303, October 22, 1881 She raved about Huxley and Tyndall, and was perpetually coming down upon her friends with awful facts about the sun, and startling propositions about latent heat, or spontaneous generation. Phantom Fortune, a Novel There are many evidences that just this spontaneous generation is taking place. Towards the Great Peace It is possible, moreover, to draw the coincident lines still further, for most of what he has said about spontaneous generation might have been uttered by me. Fragments of science, V. 1-2 He believed in spontaneous generation, which scientific investigation has utterly disproved. The Evolution of Man Scientifically Disproved In 50 Arguments They maintain that all such diseases are caused by organic self-multiplying germs, and laugh to scorn the doctrine of spontaneous generation, either of disease, or of even such low organic life as can propagate it. Across the Zodiac Mr. Laing is before all else an evolutionist, with an unshaken belief in spontaneous generation. The Faith of the Millions (2nd series) For persons who were unable to feel satisfied with the fashionable doctrine, there remained only two alternatives—the hypothesis of spontaneous generation, and that of descent with modification. Darwiniana : Essays — Volume 02 While largely agreeing with him, I cannot quite accept the setting in which Professor Virchow places the confessedly abortive attempts to secure an experimental basis for the doctrine of spontaneous generation. Fragments of science, V. 1-2 The false theory of evolution is called the monophyletic, which teaches that all species of plants and animals including man, developed from one cell or germ which came by creation or spontaneous generation. The Evolution of Man Scientifically Disproved In 50 Arguments For this reason the natural history of the Monera is of great interest; here alone can we find the means to overcome the chief difficulties of the problem of spontaneous generation. The Evolution of Man — Volume 2 I suppose spontaneous generation ceases to be objectionable if it was “only a very little one,” and came off a long time ago in a foreign country. Unconscious Memory One of the speakers elaborated on the theory that life is the result of spontaneous generation. Mr. World and Miss Church-Member A twentieth century allegory Such faithful scrutiny fully carried out would infallibly lead him to the conclusion that here, as in all other cases, the evidence in favour of spontaneous generation crumbles in the grasp of the competent enquirer. Fragments of science, V. 1-2 Darwin himself said that spontaneous generation in the past was "absolutely inconceivable." The Evolution of Man Scientifically Disproved In 50 Arguments The real doctrine of the spontaneous generation of life cannot possibly be refuted by experiments. The Evolution of Man — Volume 2 These remote ancestors must have been quite simple organisms of the lowest type, arising by spontaneous generation from inorganic matter. The Evolution of Man — Volume 1 This is not development under the law of slow evolution; it seems more like a case of spontaneous generation. Round the World A quarter of a century ago Pasteur proved the cause of 'so-called spontaneous generation' to be discontinuous. Fragments of science, V. 1-2 Atheism implies spontaneous generation, which is entirely without proof. The Evolution of Man Scientifically Disproved In 50 Arguments We have neither space nor occasion to go further in this Chapter into the question of spontaneous generation. The Evolution of Man — Volume 2 Another way is to assume an act of spontaneous generation, i.e. a transition somewhere and somewhen from absolutely non-living to absolutely living. The Note-Books of Samuel Butler This observation, we may remark, furnishes one of the best proofs that can be adduced against the spontaneous generation of vibrios or bacteria, since it is probable that the same observation applies to bacteria. The Harvard Classics Volume 38 Scientific Papers (Physiology, Medicine, Surgery, Geology) For nearly twenty centuries after him men found no difficulty in believing in cases of spontaneous generation which would now be rejected as monstrous by the most fanatical supporter of the doctrine. Fragments of science, V. 1-2 Prof. Huxley filled jars with sterilized water, and placed in it sterilized vegetation, and sealed them up, and after 30 years, no life was seen, disproving spontaneous generation. The Evolution of Man Scientifically Disproved In 50 Arguments At the commencement of it the oldest and simplest organisms were formed by spontaneous generation—the Monera, with which the history of life on our planet opened. The Evolution of Man — Volume 2 Our commitment to a Western Hemisphere safe from aggression did not occur by spontaneous generation on the day that we took office. State of the Union Address It was the period when the doctrine of spontaneous generation was being discussed with much warmth. The Harvard Classics Volume 38 Scientific Papers (Physiology, Medicine, Surgery, Geology) We have now to test one of the principal foundations of the doctrine of spontaneous generation as formulated in this country. Fragments of science, V. 1-2 Pasteur proved that, if milk were sterilized, there would be no development of life by spontaneous generation. The Evolution of Man Scientifically Disproved In 50 Arguments The first Monera were formed in the sea by spontaneous generation, as crystals are formed in the mother-water. The Evolution of Man — Volume 2 The theory of spontaneous generation rests almost entirely upon assumptions. Story of Creation as Told By Theology and By Science Comic sayings, however, are not a matter of spontaneous generation; if we laugh at them, we are equally entitled to laugh at their author. Laughter : an Essay on the Meaning of the Comic Among the subjects touched upon by the examiners was the famous question of spontaneous generation, which was then so vital, and which gave rise to so many impassioned discussions. Fabre, Poet of Science Prof. Tyndall, the distinguished physicist, said: "If matter is what the world believes it to be, materialism, spontaneous generation, and evolution, or development, are absurdities too monstrous to be entertained by any sane mind." The Evolution of Man Scientifically Disproved In 50 Arguments This is the real question of the origin of life, or of spontaneous generation. The Evolution of Man — Volume 2 In this work the idea of spontaneous generation was repudiated. Story of Creation as Told By Theology and By Science I do not think Huxley will thank him for his reference to him as a positive unbeliever in spontaneous generation—these mathematicians do not seem to me to distinguish between un-belief and a-belief. More Letters of Charles Darwin — Volume 1 Mr. Bentham points out that in ignoring Pasteur's refutation of the supposed facts of spontaneous generation, the writer fails to act with "that impartiality which every reviewer is supposed to possess." Life and Letters of Charles Darwin — Volume 2 But in 1862 Louis Pasteur proved that this seeming spontaneous generation is in reality due to the existence of germs in the air. A History of Science — Volume 4 At the same time he pointed out that our hypothesis of spontaneous generation is "a necessary condition for understanding nature according to the law of causality." The Evolution of Man — Volume 2 The theory of spontaneous generation is, in fact, generally repudiated by Evolutionists, and cannot therefore be taken as a starting-point. Story of Creation as Told By Theology and By Science The latter hypothesis is tenable, for we theorise that if spontaneous generation still occurs on the earth, it is far more likely to occur in the form of simple organisms than of complicated organisms. A Collection of Stories The many famous experiments carried conviction to the minds of scientific men, and destroyed forever the old belief in spontaneous generation. The Evolution of Modern Medicine A Series of Lectures Delivered at Yale University on the Silliman Foundation in April, 1913 Allied to these studies of spontaneous generation were Spallanzani's experiments and observations on the physiological processes of generation among higher animals. A History of Science — Volume 4 The actual living Monera are specimens of such organless or structureless organisms, as they must have boon formed by spontaneous generation at the commencement of the history of life. The Evolution of Man — Volume 2 Out of these researches arose a famous battle which kept Pasteur hard at work for four or five years—the struggle over spontaneous generation.
