The theory that life can arise from nonliving things
Real World Example
Imagine finding a mess of tangled wires behind your TV that seems to appear out of nowhere. This is similar to the outdated concept of spontaneous generation, where people once believed life could suddenly emerge from nonliving materials without any apparent cause. Just as the wires seem to multiply without intervention, the theory suggested that life could arise spontaneously, much like how you might think those wires mysteriously increase without anyone adding to them.
