Law of biogenesis states that life comes from life and that a certain kind of animal would give birth to its exact same kind. But then this contradicts evolution. Not the theory but the factual aspect of evolution. wouldnt it?

yes it does!

in order for evolution to occur, there has to be some change at the cellular level...i am sure that we can agree that the cells that make up my skin are vastly different from the cells that make up fish scales.

what i believe answer #1 guy was trying to say is that adaptation still occurs.

adaptation is where you have a residual DNA character that can be brought to the be a dominant trait under certain conditions that require a cell to utilize that particular section of code.

Law Of Biogenesis

Dishonesty and ignorance, the hallmarks of creationism. Take Asskicker's example. Take hydrogen, methane, ammonia, and CO2 and mix well. Voila! Organic matter. Wasn't that easy? This experiment is in just about every textbook made in the last 40 years. Ignorance can't be an excuse. Clearly deliberate dishonesty is the only explanation. Also, anyone who uses the tired old entropy argument at this point is lying. It's decades old and has been corrected countless times. Anyone who uses it forfeits any intellectual integrity they ever had.

In fact, the theory of Evolution states that parents and offspring are, and must be, different from each other. These differences are not normally noticeable if you are talking about insects, mice etc, but clearly we are different from our parents. These differences may lead us to have a survival advantage (or disadvantage) over others. If these differences are inheritable, advantages may be carried onto future generations. An accumulation of these differences over time may lead to species changing into noticeabley different beings.

There is no law of biogenesis, that would be a theory. And the building blocks of life, amino acids, have been produced in the laboratory from inorganic, simpler materials, so the the hypothesis that more complex molecules could also be produced, given time (500 million years, energy (eg, lightning strikes) and ingredients, does not seem implausible.

No. The Law of Biogenesis does not contradict evolution.

Evolution is about the development of life from earlier forms of life. It says nothing about the origins of the first life forms.

And there is nothing in the Law of Biogenesis about whether "a certain kind of animal would give birth to its exact same kind" ... I don't know where you might have read that.

So the question should really be about whether any theory of *abiogenesis* (the origins of life on earth) violates the Law of Biogenesis.

And the answer is still no. What is commonly called the Law of Biogenesis was shown by Pasteur to apply to a small isolated environment (like a flask) for a limited amount of time (several weeks at most). It has not been shown at all to apply to the environment consisting of all the oceans, waterways, and surfaces on the planet over millions upon millions of years (about a billion years).

It is also becoming increasingly likely that we will be able to recreate life from non-life within a limited laboratory environment within a short time ... in which case it would no longer be called a "law" at all ... or at least, it would be called a "law" only within certain boundary conditions.

No, it does not contradict evolution. Evolution is a part of biologic process. Life does come form life. Life also change (mutates) in response to stress. It could be a change in temperature or loss of food supply. The creatures that can adapt (evolve) are the ones that survive. These creatures pass on those traits to the next generation. (evolution).
