Miller's Experiment

Evolutionists often quote Miller's Experiment as
evidence of the correctness of their claim that life

formed by chance in primordial earth conditions.
However, the experiment, which was carried out
some 50 years ago, has lost its scientific
implication due to the discoveries that followed.

merican chemist Stanley Miller conducted an experiment in
1953 to support the scenario of molecular evolution. Miller
A assumed that the primordial earth atmosphere was composed
of methane, ammonia, and hydrogen gases. He combined these gases in
an experiment set-up and gave electricity to the mixture. Almost a week
Miller with his later, he observed that some amino acids formed in this mixture.

This discovery aroused great excitement among evolutionists. In the next twenty years,

some evolutionists, such as Sydney Fox and Cyril Ponnamperuma, attempted to develop
Miller's scenario.
The discoveries made in the 1970's repudiated these evolutionist attempts known as
"primordial atmosphere experiments". It was revealed that the "methane-ammonia based
primordial atmosphere model" Miller proposed and other evolutionists accepted was absolutely
fallacious. Miller chose these gases on purpose, because they were very convenient for the
formation of amino acids. Scientific discoveries, on the other hand, showed that the primordial
atmosphere was composed of nitrogen, carbon dioxide and water vapour. 14 This atmosphere
model was by no means suitable for the formation of amino acids. Moreover, it was understood
that a great amount of oxygen naturally occurred in the primordial atmosphere. 15 This,
too, invalidated the scenario of the evolutionists, because free oxygen would obviously
decompose amino acids.
As a result of these discoveries, the scientific community acknowledged in the

PRIMORDIAL ATMOSPHERE
MISCONCEPTION
Miller claimed that he strictly
reproduced the primordial
atmosphere conditions in his
experiment. However, the gases
Miller used in his experiment were
not even remotely comparable to
the real primordial earth conditions.
Moreover, Miller had interfered in
the experiment with purposeful
mechanisms. In fact, with this
experiment, he himself refuted the
evolutionist claims that amino acids could
have formed spontaneously in natural conditions.
