Quote:He has a pretty big misunderstanding of the law of Biogenesis.  Pasteur did not nor could he have demonstrated that it's impossible for life to come from non-life.  All the law of biogenesis really demonstrates is that life does not come from non-life in every day life.  All it really did was debunk the theory of the time which was spontaneous generation.  


As for the first law of thermodynamics (at least he didn't use the second, since earth is NOT a closed system), there's many hypothesis as to how the energy from the big bang got there.  Of course we don't know for certain, and we may never know for certain.  There's the Zero Energy Universe hypothesis which has some evidence in support of it.   There's a number of other hypothesis for including creationism--of course creationism is the only one that goes "You can't explain it, therefore the answer is this."  There's no experiment you can do that would allow you to describe the creation process or even to ascertain if it's possible.  (This is from Henry Morris by the way, who is a creationist).  If there were, then I'd be all for it being in the science classroom. It's not falsifiable either.  It's basically a hypothesis that can neither be proven nor disproven.
