(Nil igitur fieri de nilo posse fatendumst)
Nothing can be created out of nothing
(Nil posse creare de nilo)
Titus Lucretius Carus (99-55 BC) in De Rerum Natura I, 205 and 155
Little is known about Lucretius. He was studied and admired by great poets, among them, Ovid, Vergil and Cicero. His vision, passion, sincerity, logic and morality reverberate across centuries and transcended the dark ages when the Vatican branded him as atheistic and immoral. Currently, in the southern regions of USA, "Evangelical" movements are fostering the idea of "Creationism" - another name and format for the ancient idea regarding "spontaneous generation of life".
It took 18 centuries to extirpate the dogma of "spontaneous generation". In 1854, Pasteur used the "Swam Neck Pasteur Flask" to isolate broth culture media from being contaminated by ambient bacteria - the broth remained sterile. Immediately Pasteur formulated the "Germ Theory" of fermentation and declared:
Never will the doctrine of spontaneous generation of life
recover from the mortal blow struck by this simple experiment
and added
like generates like
Soon after, aseptic surgery and pasteurization techniques emerged.
