*gets 'that sinking feeling' that both sides are speaking to each other on completely different wavelengths*

Spontaneous generation is NOT the same. Spontaneous generation assumes that a new life form can simply pop into existence. Out of nowhere. With no stimulus for change. Hence the word "spontaneous," which is defined as "Happening or arising without apparent external cause; self-generated." or "Arising from a natural inclination or impulse and not from external incitement or constraint." In other words, Spontaneuous generation is when something brings ITSELF into existence, without the assistance of an outside force. Not God, not electrostatic discharge, not a freshly baked pie on grandma's windowsill. Nothing. Something out of nothing, rather.

Primordial Soup is (was) a mass of organic (but not living) matter. BAM! Lightning strikes the Primordial Soup. A reaction occurs, forming more complex proteins out of less complex amino acids (proteins, as we all know, are the building blocks of life- every known living organism has 'em). Over time, these proteins group together. Eventually, DNA pops up. When all is in order, BAM! some other stimulus (presumably a shocking one) causes everything to begin ticking...voila, life.

The two are not one in the same.

The only comment I can think of on that video is that it really doesn't prove anything- it is extremely biased towards one side of the argument, and it was created for the purpose of proving one theory right while proving another wrong (in layman's terms, it has an agenda- you might recognize the filmmaking techniques as ones which are used by a *cartain other* filmmaker who claims that his works are *documentaries*...*cough*MichaelMoore*cough*). It does not use the Scientific Method- if it did, it would gather data THEN draw conclusions. Instead, it draws a conclusion THEN collects data to support it. See the difference?

*EDIT* Oh shit, I actually agree with SFE...that's a new feeling.

"Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. Horrid mischief would ensue were (the law-abiding) deprived of the use of them." - Thomas Paine

Remember, kids: illiteracy is cool. If you took the time to read this, you are clearly a loser who will never get laid. You've been warned.
