Why do atheists/evolutionists believe so much in the Urey/Miller experiment?

Question

the experiment was conducted in a closed environment with very little replication of earth's environment at that time. Also, they did not produce life, did not produce amino acids, but produced a few building blocks which could have possibly, maybe turned into amino acids, which could have turned into life. And years later science has evolved and many critcize this experiment and show its many flaws. Is this the best evolutionists/atheists can come up with? They constantly bash christianity, yet this half-@ssed science experiment from the 50s is the cream of the crop for these people? Fact is, 99.99% of atheists/evolutionists probably cannot explain the experiment or what it proved and 75% probably never heard of it before. Right now that flying spaghetti monster looks more appealing than their creation of life theory.

Answer 1

I've personally conducted the Miller-Urey experiment.

Yes, it generates amino acids. Miller-Urey managed to discover 4. In my two runs, I got six each time [M-U were able to identify the ones the produced, sadly I didn't have the right equipment to identify my six, only that there were six].

Still, I do question some of the validity of the assumptions they made about the original environment of the earth. I would like to re-run the experiment with more up-to-date information on the early pre-biotic earth.

Answer 2

Where ever you're getting your information from, I suggest you look for a new source. You are just making yourself look foolish.

First, the experiment did produce amino acids (four kinds of them to be specific).

Second, this is only ONE of many possible starting points for the origin of life. Scientists are working on others as we speak.

Third, there is not a scientist out there that says that this experiment "proved" anything more than that it was possible that the building blocks of proteins could be produced naturally.

If you are really interested in finding out about abiogenesis (and I doubt you really are) read the book "Genesis: The scientific quest for life's origins" by Hazen.


You are right to point out that this is the least understood aspect of the origin of life. But that would only make your God a "god of the gaps." Is that what you want to worship?

Answer 3

You keep talking about the same things over and over again. What is your obsession with the Urey/Miller experiment? And who said that atheists/evolutionist believed so much in it?
You keep saying that we shouldn't believe in these things because they can't be proved......well then why do people believe in the bible...it can't be proved.
