create a question to ask What is one question for regards to In retrospect, with our understanding of how biological systems work, biogenesis makes complete sense. However, remember at the time the debates of spontaneous generation versus biogenesis were going on scientists did not have a clear understanding of how many species reproduces, let alone what microbes were.

Assume you were trying to convince someone in the spontaneous generation camp that biogenesis was a legitimate process. What types of evidence would you show them? Would you set up an experiment to show them? How would you get them to participate? Do you think this evidence would be enough to convince them to change their opinion?
