I am desparately looking for the evolusionist response to the following creationist statement:
"If you think Stanley Miller did it maybe you should ask him if he still believes it. His experiment produced 85 % tar and 13 % carboxilyc acid both of which are poisonous to life. The 2 % amino acids that he produced he "filtered" (which is "cheating" and not viable for real life.) out. 20 Amino Acids are needed for life and Dr. Miller fell well short of that. Half of the amino acids he produced were right-handed and just one right-handed amino acid would destroy the possibility of any life being "produced." Miller was in the crowd at a debate in San Diego several years ago when Dr. Duane Gish was debunking Miller's abiogenesis experiment. Miller was asked if he would like to respond to Dr. Gish's comments and he said "no." He then went on to state that he realizes the serious problems with his experiment(s). "
If this is true, the experiment only goes to show how unlikely it is for even the most basic organic matter to form, which is still a VERY long why off from real life. Surely, there must be an awnser to this?
