What facts did Redi's, Spallanzani's, and Pasteur's experiments establish? What broader scientific understanding about life did the experiments explore? How does the example of these experiments demonstrate science as a was of knowing?

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

wow bro well different poeple at different times but i guess that they all studied spontaneous generation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Specifically, their experiments proved that there was NO spontaneous generation of life. Therefore that Life had to have started somewhere, and didn't just appear out of, say, a rotting fruit. The experiments -- those relating to spontaneous generation, anyway -- explored the origins of Life on our world, and how it came to be ! for your last question, you'll have to clarify that a bit, as "a was of knowing"'s meaning is pretty unclear to me... As an alternative answer, Spallazani and Pasteur's experiments were designed to reject another theory , Preformationism, that said that all life developed from "miniature" versions of themselves ! Thoughn I'd go with Spontaneous Generation as being the answer, since Redi worked on that, and not on preformationism.
