Biogenesis is the production of new living organisms. In biogenesis life can only form from preexisting life. The theory of biogenesis was proven by Louis Pasteur; his theory states that living things can only come from other living things by reproduction. Another experiment that was used to prove this theory was Redi's. Redi had two pieces of meat put into jars, he left one lid off and one lid on. The jar without the lid had flies on top that laid eggs and produced more fly's. The one with the lid had no flies and had no eggs therefor no reproduction of more flies. 

Summary: Life can only come from preexisting life. Living things cannot grow as a population without reproduction. Something I found interesting about biogenesis is we all had to come from some sort of preexisting life.
