The basic assumption of Evolution is that nature creates complexity.
But, as far as I can tell by many Evolutionists, spontaneous generation
is the basic assumption: Life appears (don't know how, just God didn't
do it). From that point, it evolves, or it doesn't evolve, it gains
compleixty, or it doesn't, etc.

Specific beliefs regarding spontanious generation were disproven.
Evolutionists still believe in spontanious generation, they are still
looking for a version that can withstand even a little scientific
examination.
