Would you like to know where to start and what books to read?
Feel free to ask any questions about evolution. It concerns me that a minority of people who admit not reading the theory or it's evidence, muddy the waters of this forum with their gut feelings and ignorant self experiments. This thread is not to debate, but to signpost people to evidence so they can decide for themselves.
Please note again, this is not a thread to argue your personal feelings.

Please recommend a book that explains what happened before evolution took over, namely spontaneous generation.
An excellent introduction to science is Richard Dawkins' The Magic of Reality
It is written for kids but it's great for adults as well. This guy is a really gifted teacher
and this book is quite unputdownable.
Drew: the Edda explain it.
Sr: in many wayes i would recommend wikipedia. Alternatively, why evolution is true by jeff coyne or 29 proof of macroevolution (website).
the Edda explain it.
Is it a Norse poem that explains how inanimate matter became life?
Its not a poem and it explain it, with a few supernatural elements involved. You have a problem with an explanation based ón unverified supernatural elements?

Ah, no? Haha
N. drew, I specifically said evolution, the process of mutational adaptation, dominating where the environment suits. We don't have all the answers, asking for things we dont know yet is immature and ignorant. Please refrain from disturbing a post you have no interest in. Evolution is a science with facts and evidence people can touch and feel, visit at a museum and ponder over themselves. There are theories as to how evolution was initiated but that's is not what this thread is about. However been as you asked I have a book for you, AND as you asked I expect you to get it, read it and report back to us on it.

My interest in evolution came by way of my interest in geology - paleontology, to be more specific...
The patterns of evolution are writ large in stone; very obvious when one looks at the fossil record.
I'm going to attempt to make that book link "clickable"...

Here is that link in British sterling....
And here's a multi-selection website of that book...
Enjoy!!
