64 CONFESSIONS OF THE EVOLUTIONISTS

Confessions Regarding the
Invalidity of the Miller
Experiment

The Miller ex per i ment, to which ev o lu tion -
ists as signed the very great est im por tance in
terms of the or i gins of life, was con duct ed by the
American re search er Stanley Miller in 1953, to
prove that the ami no ac ids in the con di tions on
the pri me val world could have formed spon ta -
ne ous ly. In fact, how e ver, Miller's ex per i ment has been showed to be in valid in a num -
ber of ways by oth er ex per i ments.
This ex per i ment, which has to day lost all cred i bil i ty in ev o lu tion ists' eyes, is un for -
tu nate ly still por trayed as sig nif i cant ev i dence by cer tain ev o lu tion ist cir cles in Turkey.
Yet even Miller him self is aware that his ex per i ment is mean ing less in ex plain ing the or -
i gin of life. The way ev o lu tion ists still cling to an ex per i ment whose in va lid i ty has been
open ly ad mit ted is an in di ca tion of their de spair.

In 1986, 33 years aft er his ex per i ment, Stanley Miller him self said that pri me val at -
mos phere ex per i ments in which high lev els of am mo nia were used were not re al is tic:
Therefore, the chemical atmosphere of that time should have been formed mostly
of nitrogen (N ), carbon dioxide (CO ) and water vapor (H O). However these are not as

appropriate as methane and ammonia for the production of organic molecules. 1
The well-known evolutionist journal Earth carried the following lines in an article
titled “The Cooking Pot of Life” in its February 1998 edition:
Geologists now think that the primordial atmosphere consisted mainly of carbon
dioxide and nitrogen, gases that are less reactive than those used in the 1953 ex-
periment. And even if Miller's atmosphere could have existed, how do you get sim-
ple 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 prob-
lem,” he sighs with exasperation. “How do you make polymers? That's not so
easy.” 2
