Wherever it is you are getting these "facts", do yourself a favor and stop.
What Pasteur discovered was wrong was the theory of "spontaneous generation", which was a competing theory of biogenesis, which is now known as abiogenesis (and which we know a hell of a lot more about than Pasteur or Darwin ever dreamed of).
They are not the same thing. I repeat, they are not the same thing. They are different, competing ideas, and spontaneous generation lost to abiogenesis.
Whoever told you that Pasteur debunked abiogenesis lied to you.
