Abiogenesis and lice
I have heard that in light of studies on what is called abiogenesis, the process of life forming spontaneously is not disproven. Do you think it is possible to understand from this (even slightly) the assumption that it is written in the Talmud that divine beings are not born from fertility and reproduction?

Possibly. But I’m not looking for ways to understand scientific assertions in the Talmud, because there’s no reason to assume they knew anything they didn’t know in their time. Specifically regarding lice, as far as I know from experience this is not the case, and certainly not for all lice (abiogenesis happened once or a few times).
