What Is Theory Of Eternity

What is theory of eternity

 

Answer:

Explanation:

THEORY OF ETERNITY OF LIFE: this theory was given by Richter, Helmholtz, preyer, Arrhenius, bondi. According to them life only changes it's form but is never created from dead substances. It has no origin and has always existed. They concluded that life comes from life never from lifeless things. This concept was defined as theory of biogenesis. Theory of biogenesis was supported by cosmozoic theory proposed by Richter. But this theory failed to explain how the pre existing life came to exist in this world. Since the spores from the outer world couldn't tolerate the atmospheric friction they can't reach the biosphere and generate life. The ancient philosopher Aristotle argued that the world must have existed from eternity in his Physics as follows. In Book I, he argues that everything that comes into existence does so from a substratum. Therefore, if the underlying matter of the universe came into existence, it would come into existence from a substratum. But the nature of matter is precisely to be the substratum from which other things arise. Consequently, the underlying matter of the universe could have come into evidence only from an already existing matter exactly like itself; to assume that the underlying matter of the universe came into existence would require assuming that an underlying matter already existed. As this assumption is self-contradictory, Aristotle argued, matter must be eternal
