I'm thinking of sending them this via their Contact Us page:

Your definition of Aboigenesis is inaccurate. It says:
"the now discredited theory that living organisms can arise spontaneously from inanimate matter; spontaneous generation."

The definition given is for spontaneous generation, which itself is distinct from abiogenesis.

Abiogenesis it the hypothetical process by which biological matter first evolved from non-bilogical replicators. Importantly, this is not a discredited idea. Various hypotheses as to its mechanism have been proposed, a number of which have shown promise under experimental circumstances.


Can anyone tell me if I am being innacurate anywhere? I'm a mere layman. :hide:
