was promoted as an outstanding success. Moreover, in a state of
intoxicated euphoria, various publications carried headlines such as
"Miller creates life." However, what Miller had managed to synthesize was
only a few inanimate molecules.
Encouraged by this experiment, evolutionists immediately produced
new scenarios. Stages following the development of amino acids were
hurriedly hypothesized. Supposedly, amino acids had later united in the
correct sequences by accident to form proteins. Some of these proteins
which emerged by chance formed themselves into cell membrane–like
structures which "somehow" came into existence and formed a primitive
cell. These cells then supposedly came together over time to form
multicellular living organisms.
However, Miller's experiment has since proven to be false in many
respects.

Four Facts That Invalidate Miller's Experiment

Miller's experiment sought to prove that amino acids could form on
their own in primordial earth-like conditions, but it contains
inconsistencies in a number of areas:
1- By using a mechanism called a "cold trap," Miller isolated the
amino acids from the environment as soon as they were formed. Had he
not done so, the conditions in the environment in which the amino acids
were formed would immediately have destroyed these molecules.
Doubtless, this kind of conscious isolation mechanism did not exist
on the primordial earth. Without such a mechanism, even if one amino
acid were obtained, it would immediately have been destroyed. The
chemist Richard Bliss expresses this contradiction by observing that
"Actually, without this trap, the chemical products, would have been
destroyed by the energy source." 248 And, sure enough, in his previous
experiments, Miller had been unable to make even one single amino acid
using the same materials without the cold trap mechanism.
2- The primordial atmosphere that Miller attempted to simulate in his
experiment was not realistic. In the 1980s, scientists agreed that nitrogen
and carbon dioxide should have been used in this artificial environment
instead of methane and ammonia.
