Definition: The term "aerogenesis" was translated into English for the first time in the New Testament context by Clement of Rome (c. 25-70 AD). This term referred to a process that involved the formation of new organic matter from old material. The specific details about how this process occurred were not fully understood at the time but are mentioned in various Christian writings, including Paul's letter to the Galatians and Eusebius's work on the Bible. In the Greek New Testament, "aerogenesis" is translated as "progenesis" or "creation." It was a term used by philosophers of the time who believed that all life originated from atoms, which they considered to be the basic building blocks of matter. This concept was later refined and expanded upon in Christian theology through the work of Jesus. The term "aerogenesis" has been interpreted differently depending on context and theological views, but its general meaning has been a process where organic materials were created or transformed from non-organic material, often through mechanical means such as molten metal, air pressure, or heat. This idea was central to the early Christian understanding of life's origins. The biblical account mentions several specific instances where "aerogenesis" is referred to in its literal meaning and not metaphorically. For instance, in Ephesians 5:28-31, Paul describes how believers should "be like [God] who created them." He refers to the human body as a form of creation, which he says "gathers up from God" (Eph. 5:29). This passage further underscores the concept that the bodies and tissues within us are part of an ongoing process called "aerogenesis," where they were made in a similar way as the original material. Understanding "aerogenesis" is foundational to understanding the Bible's view on life's origins, its processes, and how God created us. It emphasizes the process by which our bodies were created, with specific details about what happens during this process from ancient times to the present day.
