Re: miller-urey experiment
He seems to be a good young kid from Colorado Springs Christian. That limits him somewhat but I have hope that he'll work through it.

Here's your problem
First, in your OP you said that the Miller experiment was used as evidence to support Evolution.
Many people here have pointed out to you that it has nothing to do with Evolution. Evolution deals with what happened after life formed, not with how life formed.
Second, you have claimed that the experiment failed and the reason you claim it failed was that a later experiment produced cyanid. Well, again, people have pointed out to you that there are critters that live in such an environment.
How life started is still very much an open question. But it is also one that will very likely be solved during your lifetime if not mine. The Miller experiment was from 50 years ago and much has happened since then.
In summary, the Miller experiment has nothing to do with Evolution or the Theory of Evolution. Even if it is totally wrong it has no effect on the TOE.

I don't doubt that it is mentioned as a problem in many schools
particularly those that teach a Creation based point of view. But so far you have not shown where it is taught as part of a study.
If it is being used, then the teacher simply does not understand the subject. It has nothing to do with evolution.
But let's go on to the next step.
You say that there were lies behind the experiment. Can you support that assertion?
