Francesco Redi, in 1668, showed that abiogenesis of maggots did not occur, and further experiments by Lazzaro Spallanzani (1768) and Louis Pasteur (1861) showed that many of the lifeforms thought "created" were those already invisibly present in the air or in other materials.
redi's middle name is mulala
It was Francesco Redi's experiment. In 1664 Redi wrote his first work Osservazioni intorno alle vipere(Observations about the Viper). Redi is best known for, published in 1668 as Esperienze Intorno alla Generazione degl'Insetti (Experiments on the Generation of Insects).It proved that flies did not spontaneous generate. He put meat in a flask and covered it with cheesecloth so that air could get in but not flies. The other flask was a control and did not have cheesecloth. Only the flask without cheesecloth had flies.
Redi did an experiment seeing what maggots come from by putting meat into jars and left 1 open 1 covered with netting and one sealed the only one that didn't get maggots was the one that was sealed proving that maggots come from flies.

This proves that there is no such thing as spontaneous generation.
Spallanzani's experiments involved controlling various factors such as sealing containers to prevent contamination and boiling the medium before sealing. He demonstrated that spontaneous generation did not occur under his controlled conditions, which refuted the earlier experiments of Redi and Needham.
Redi and Pasteur helped to disprove spontaneous generation.

People in redis time thought living things came from mud or decaying meat
Francesco Redi and Louis Pasteur, as well as Lazzaro Spallanzani and John Tyndall, all did scientific experiments (as opposed to philosophical writings) challenging the idea that life could quickly arise in the absence of any life from which other life could grow. This idea, formally dating back to the ancient Greeks, is called "spontaneous generation." The experiments of these four showed that spontaneous generation did not occur in situations that others thought it did. Like any good science controversy, other scientists did experiments that supported spontaneous generation, but Pasteur and Tyndall were able to do experiments that were rigorous enough to unambiguously disprove this idea.
Redi and Pasteur
Redi and Pasteur
The two scientists were Redi and Louis Pasteur. (sorry, can't remember Redi's first name.)
Francesco Redi's hypothesis was that "spontaneous generation" could not exist. He tested this hypothesis using maggots and meat.
