During the second half of the previous century evolutionists tried to fill up the gap between matter and life by creating the group of the Monera. Defined as being extremely simple the Monera were assumed to support or even to prove spontaneous generation. Detailed descriptions of various Monera by foremost research workers overflowed the scientific literature. However, little by little the Monera were discerned to be fallacious or false to the definition. In addition, prolonged research showed that even the most simple Protista are in fact inconceivably complex. Thus the gap between matter and life has widened and by that creationism proves to be justified on this issue.
