This is from the book Genesis and the Big Bang, written by Gerald Schroeder, he has a PhD in Earth Sciences and Physics, an M.Sc in Earth and Planetary Sciences, and a B.Sc in Chemical Engineering.
In this particular excerpt about spontaneous generation, abiogenesis, or simply the generation of non-living matter to living he notes that before 1968 scientists were treating the idea of this forthcoming of life very lightly. Then Morowitz, a Physicist Professor at Yale University, decided to actually calculate the probability and time scale of this happening. Even with an optimistic outlook, he calculated this to take longer than the estimated age of the universe.
It should also be noted that there are A LOT of theories out there as to how this spontaneous generation occurred, which shows how much evolution scientists don't know about this subject. Or at least how much they are wrong.
