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.
Scientists use the scientific method to answer questions about the world, which involves making observations, forming a hypothesis, conducting experiments, and analyzing results. In Francesco Redi's experiment with rotting meat, he tested the hypothesis that maggots arise from the meat itself or from eggs laid by flies. By using controlled conditions, such as placing meat in covered and uncovered jars, he demonstrated that maggots only appeared in the exposed jars, supporting the idea that they come from flies, not spontaneous generation. This method of systematic investigation allows for repeatable and verifiable results.
redi's middle name is mulala
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.

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
Francesco Redi is known for his experiments disproving spontaneous generation. Lazzaro Spallanzani proved that microorganisms cannot generate spontaneously in a closed environment. Louis Pasteur developed the germ theory of disease and pioneered pasteurization to prevent microbial contamination in food and beverages.
Redi's theory, known as spontaneous generation, proposed that living organisms could arise from nonliving matter. In his famous experiment with the meat and fly larvae, Redi demonstrated that maggots do not spontaneously generate on rotting meat but instead come from eggs laid by flies. This experiment helped to disprove the idea of spontaneous generation.
Francesco Redi is one of the scientists who refuted and helped disprove the theory of "Spontaneous generation" ( this theory suggests that life comes from non living things. ex: dead meat can naturally form from rotting meat).
