Their theory of life draws an arbitrary line from their asses.
Downfall in Science
By the 19th century, empirical advancements in chemistry and biology caused the theory to unravel:
- The Synthesis of Urea: In 1828, German chemist Friedrich Wöhler successfully synthesized urea (an organic compound) in a laboratory by heating two inorganic salts. This proved that organic molecules could be created without the aid of a living organism, striking a major blow to chemical vitalism. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
