And where in this section you quoted does Darwin say anything about abiogenesis or the origin of life?
Saying that he believed there was one primordial form is not in any way implying that he had an theory or idea for the origin of life.
You seem to have gone off the rails on this one. The quote you supply does not in any way support your argument.

Now i'm well aware that they are different subjects, but even evolutionists such as Richard Dawkins holds to the spontaneous generation view as the beginning of life....and he puts that view in his evolution books.
Again you seem to be off the rails on this. You have provided no evidence they are related and have not shown that evolution depends on abiogenesis. It wouldn't matter if Richard Dawkins declared support of your view, it would still be wrong.
Please provide a source where Dawkins states that spontaneous generation was the source of life.

Care to provide the quote? I do not own the book.

Not spontaneous generation
Nope. Your wrong again.
Maybe you should research the term.

Re: Spontaneous Generation is Not Abiogenesis
abiogenesis which is 'non biological' matter springing to life
Wrong again. Have you looked at any of the the current hypotheses for abiogenesis? In none of them does life "spring"
Maybe if you thought of where the line is between non-life and life, you could have a better concept. Do you know where the line is between life and non-life? I think a lot of people would give a lot of different answers.

Oops. Sorry if this was piling on. I see my comments are very similar to AZpauls. I should have read his comments first.
