By the way, i understand the Miller-Urey experiment very well, I also understand that the experiment came under a lot of fire. "There has been a recent wave of skepticism concerning Miller's experiment because it is now believed that the early earth's atmosphere did not contain predominantly reductant molecules. Another objection is that this experiment required a tremendous amount of energy. While it is believed lightning storms were extremely common on the primitive Earth, they were not continuous as the Miller/Urey experiment portrayed. Thus it has been argued that while amino acids and other organic compounds may have been formed, they would not have been formed in the amounts which this experiment produced." When new experiments were conducted with what is now believed to be a more realistic "early atmosphere"...no amino acids were formed. So that experiment is invalid as the results have not been reproduced.
