Allen, wouldn't you say that the likes of Hutton, Lyell, Buffon, Lamarck, and
Darwin
challenged the prevailing view of Aristotelian spontaneous generation? And the
theological implications of that challenge was that life, like the earth,
evolved through
natural processes rather than through the then universally accepted biblical,
"history-less," miraculous, divine intervention of Genesis?
Make it a good day.
