You should be made aware, if you are not already, that although biology
textbooks continue to present Stanley Miller's 1953 experiment as evidence
for a naturalistic origin of life, all planetary scientists (including
Miller himself) are now convinced that the atmosphere of the early earth would
have made Miller's syntheses impossible.
