So wait, these scientist took those chemicals, made an ideal atmosphere, and with a little electricity they created life, proof of evolution right? No, not at all. He made some amino acids. Thats like creating a brick and saying you've pretty much showed you can build a house.

Now, amino acids are very important, but thats a long way from a cell. As these amino groups swirl in their puddle some of them will bond into a chain, hundred of molecules long, in the perfect order to create the necessary protein. Well, a lot of necessary proteins. Now these can all come together to create the cell. But there are still so many more necessary chemicals.

Let's just say they were all there. The problem is many would react with each, or the atmosphere. Some would also precipitate out of solution. Certain amino acids are even destroy by the suns UV rays. Oh yeah I forgot to mention Miller didn't succeed in creating all the needed amino acids.

So that's what I think of the experiment in a nutshell. It proves nothing at all.
