Aye, but this will let us gradually work towards more and more basic cell forms, so that we can eventually figure out abiogenesis.
Thomas Aquinas made the argument that all life comes from other life in the 13th Century. I wouldn't classify it as a modern pivot so much as one of the central philosophical arguments for the existence of a Creator.
