I teach biology and one of my students brought up a great point.  When presenting evolution(By law I have to at least present it), the student asked how the first life appeared.  I told here according to the theory, lightning passed through amino acids creating proteins which eventually made DNA, and so on and after I was done she observed “well isn’t that the same as spontaneous generation.”   This would mean that the whole base of evolution is based on a theory that science disproved several hundred years ago.  I have proposed this questions to several scientist but have not received a single response.  Incidentally, the student was one of my special needs students.
