My question is related to biology, what was the main objection against redi's experiment about biognesis?
Francesco Redi's experiment on biogenesis demonstrated that maggots appeared only in open bottles containing dead animals, while sealed bottles showed no such development. The primary objection from supporters of abiogenesis was the claim that the absence of oxygen in the sealed bottles inhibited the process of life generation. This contention arose during a period when belief in abiogenesis was prevalent, leading to the dismissal of Redi's findings despite their clarity and fairness.
