The creation or production of life; the process by which living matter is generated or produced from non-living substances.
From 'bio-' (life) + 'poiesis' (Greek, creation). This variant spelling of biopoesis emphasizes the creative or productive aspect of life's origin, deriving from Greek poietikos (creative).
While 'biopoesis' and 'biopoiesis' mean essentially the same thing, 'poiesis' is the Greek root that also gives us 'poetry'—reminding us that ancient Greeks saw creation as a deeply creative act.
