The creation theory was first proposed by Aristotle, which refers to the spontaneous creation of living things from inanimate matter. At that time, many scientists believed in it until another group of scientists started doing experiments to disprove it; such as Francesco Redi Louis Pasteur and a scientist named Van Helmont.
These people managed to find a scientific objection to the initial experiments on which the creation theory was based and reject it, but an important truth was hidden from the eyes of all of them because at that time they did not have a complete understanding of life due to the lack of progress in biological science.
In the initial experiment, it was observed that if we leave a piece of meat somewhere, it will get worms after a while, even if we put it in a closed container and make sure that insects do not spawn in the meat.
As a result, it has emerged from inanimate matter, the flesh of a living being.
But later, Louis Pasteur showed that if, in addition, the meat in the container and the air inside it are completely sterilized and disinfected, the meat remains healthy and a living organism does not emerge from it, so he concluded that a living organism does not emerge from meat or inanimate matter, but in the previous experiments, microbes and bacteria existed from the beginning and later grew in favorable conditions and produced larger organisms such as worms.
These conclusions seemed completely correct and showed that the initial experiment was wrong, until with the progress of biological science and the increase of human knowledge of how life forms, the game changed again in favor of Aristotle.
We believe that the Spontaneous generation is not limited to the experiment of creating a worm from meat, and the main problem is the creation of microbes and single cells, which anyway were created from inanimate matter. At that time, scientists did not have enough knowledge of microscopic life and DNA.

So he concluded that a living organism does not arise from flesh or inanimate matter, but in the previous experiments, microbes and bacteria existed from the beginning and later, under favorable conditions, they grew and produced larger organisms like worms.
These conclusions seemed completely correct and showed that the initial experiment was wrong, until with the progress of biological science and the increase of human knowledge of how life forms, the game changed again in favor of Aristotle.

If we take a close look at the life on the planet, we will realize that just as a plant seed grows and bears fruit and reaches its evolution, so do other living things. Sperm is still a seed that is placed in the soil and grows. It is placed in the woman’s womb and grows.
The main problem is to understand the complexity and different levels of life.
Animals and beasts are more advanced levels of life than plants, but if we go back far enough we come back to the creation of life from inanimate matter.
The body of all living organisms, from a bacterium to an elephant, is composed of elements. All their constituent elements are also found in Mendeleev’s table. In this table, inanimate elements are classified. So these inanimate elements which newer scientists such as Stephen Hawking mentioned, but the old scientists who denied the Spontaneous generation did not pay any attention to it.
It is the passage of time that has led to the complications of life. For example, in the ice age, today’s dogs did not exist and are considered a relatively new species.
Lions, elephants, chickens and roosters and many other animals today had different ancestors and the passage of time has caused the emergence of these different species.
It is quite clear that if there is no time, life will not be formed and will not become more complicated.
So time is a factor for life and causes life to form from inanimate matter, but this process requires a lot of time for the building elements to be put together in the right way, as it took millions of years for life to emerge in its present form.
