      Note: There are four modes of generation in the animal

               gemmiparity or by budding, germiparity or by germs, and
               oviparity or by ova.
  
      {Alternate generation} (Biol.), alternation of sexual with
            asexual generation, in which the products of one process
            differ from those of the other, -- a form of reproduction
            common both to animal and vegetable organisms. In the
            simplest form, the organism arising from sexual generation
            produces offspiring unlike itself, agamogenetically.
            These, however, in time acquire reproductive organs, and
            from their impregnated germs the original parent form is
            reproduced. In more complicated cases, the first series of
            organisms produced agamogenetically may give rise to
            others by a like process, and these in turn to still other
            generations. Ultimately, however, a generation is formed
            which develops sexual organs, and the original form is
            reproduced.
  
      {Spontaneous generation} (Biol.), the fancied production of
            living organisms without previously existing parents from
            inorganic matter, or from decomposing organic matter, a
            notion which at one time had many supporters; abiogenesis.

   generate vt.   To produce something according to an algorithm or

   generate {infinite} flamage."
  
  

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Generation
      Gen. 2:4, "These are the generations," means the "history." 5:1,
      "The book of the generations," means a family register, or
      history of Adam. 37:2, "The generations of Jacob" = the history
      of Jacob and his descendants. 7:1, "In this generation" = in
      this age. Ps. 49:19, "The generation of his fathers" = the
      dwelling of his fathers, i.e., the grave. Ps. 73:15, "The
      generation of thy children" = the contemporary race. Isa. 53:8,
      "Who shall declare his generation?" = His manner of life who
      shall declare? or rather = His race, posterity, shall be so
      numerous that no one shall be able to declare it.
     
         In Matt. 1:17, the word means a succession or series of
      persons from the same stock. Matt. 3:7, "Generation of vipers" =
      brood of vipers. 24:34, "This generation" = the persons then
      living contemporary with Christ. 1 Pet. 2:9, "A chosen
      generation" = a chosen people.
     
         The Hebrews seem to have reckoned time by the generation. In
      the time of Abraham a generation was an hundred years, thus:
      Gen. 15:16, "In the fourth generation" = in four hundred years
      (comp. verse 13 and Ex. 12:40). In Deut. 1:35 and 2:14 a
      generation is a period of thirty-eight years.
