DARWINISM REFUTED

Let us now look at the details of the theory of evolution's "biggest
unsolved problem". The first subject we have to consider is the famous
Miller experiment.

Miller's Experiment
The most generally respected study on the origin of life is the Miller
experiment conducted by the American researcher Stanley Miller in 1953.
(The experiment is also known as the "Urey-Miller experiment" because of
the contribution of Miller's instructor at the University of Chicago, Harold
Urey.) This experiment is the only "evidence" evolutionists have with
which to allegedly prove the "chemical evolution thesis"; they advance it
as the first stage of the supposed evolutionary process leading to life.
Although nearly half a century has passed, and great technological
advances have been made, nobody has made any further progress. In spite
of this, Miller's experiment is still taught in textbooks as the evolutionary
explanation of the earliest generation of living things. That is because,
aware of the fact that such studies do not support, but rather actually
refute, their thesis, evolutionist researchers deliberately avoid embarking
on such experiments.
Stanley Miller's aim was to demonstrate by means of an experiment
that amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, could have come into
existence "by chance" on the lifeless earth billions of years ago. In his
experiment, Miller used a gas mixture that he assumed to have existed on
the primordial earth (but which later proved unrealistic), composed of
ammonia, methane, hydrogen, and water vapor. Since these gases would
not react with each other under natural conditions, he added energy to the
mixture to start a reaction among them. Supposing that this energy could
have come from lightning in the primordial atmosphere, he used an
electric current for this purpose.
Miller heated this gas mixture at 100°C for a week and added the
electrical current. At the end of the week, Miller analyzed the chemicals
which had formed at the bottom of the jar, and observed that three out of
the 20 amino acids which constitute the basic elements of proteins had
been synthesized.
This experiment aroused great excitement among evolutionists, and
