DARWINISM REFUTED
In fact, by his experiment, Miller destroyed evolution's claim that "life
emerged as the result of unconscious coincidences." That is because, if the
experiment proves anything, it is that amino acids can only be produced
in a controlled laboratory environment where all the conditions are
specifically designed by conscious intervention.
Today, Miller's experiment is totally disregarded even by
evolutionist scientists. In the February 1998 issue of the famous
evolutionist science journal Earth, the following statements appear in an
article titled "Life's Crucible":
Geologist now think that the primordial atmosphere consisted mainly of
carbon dioxide and nitrogen, gases that are less reactive than those used in
the 1953 experiment. And even if Miller's atmosphere could have existed,
how do you get simple molecules such as amino acids to go through the
necessary chemical changes that will convert them into more complicated
compounds, or polymers, such as proteins? Miller himself throws up his
hands at that part of the puzzle. "It's a problem," he sighs with
exasperation. "How do you make polymers? That's not so easy." 253
As seen, today even Miller himself has accepted that his experiment
does not lead to an explanation of the origin of life. In the March 1998 issue
of National Geographic, in an article titled "The Emergence of Life on Earth,"
the following comments appear:
Many scientists now suspect that the early atmosphere was different to
what Miller first supposed. They think it consisted of carbon dioxide and
nitrogen rather than hydrogen, methane, and ammonia.
That's bad news for chemists. When they try sparking carbon dioxide and
nitrogen, they get a paltry amount of organic molecules - the equivalent of
dissolving a drop of food colouring in a swimming pool of water. Scientists
find it hard to imagine life emerging from such a diluted soup. 254
In brief, neither Miller's experiment, nor any other similar one that
has been attempted, can answer the question of how life emerged on earth.
All of the research that has been done shows that it is impossible for life to
emerge by chance, and thus confirms that life is created. The reason
evolutionists do not accept this obvious reality is their blind adherence to
prejudices that are totally unscientific. Interestingly enough, Harold Urey,
who organized the Miller experiment with his student Stanley Miller,
made the following confession on this subject:
