he used was unrealistic. 16
What's more, this whole fuss was simply about "amino acid formation". Even if amino acids had
formed, it is impossible for these simple organic molecules to give rise to extremely complex
structures such as proteins by chance and produce a living cell which even mankind is unable to
reproduce in laboratories today.
The fifty years that have passed since Miller's time have only served to further display the
despair the theory of evolution faces at the molecular level.
