“When it comes to the origin of life, we have only two possibilities as to how life arose. One is spontaneous generation arising to evolution; the other is a supernatural creative act of God. There is no third possibility...Spontaneous generation was scientifically disproved one hundred years ago by Louis Pasteur, Lazzaro Spallanzani, Francesco Redi and others. That leads us scientifically to only one possible conclusion -- that life arose as a supernatural creative act of God...I will not accept that philosophically because I do not want to believe in God. Therefore, I choose to believe in that which I know is scientifically impossible, spontaneous generation arising to evolution.”
Dr. George Wald
Dr. George Wald was an American biologist and Nobel laureate, known for his research on the physiology and biochemistry of vision.
This quote challenges us to think critically about the origins of life and the role of belief in contrast to scientific facts.
