Question

Creationists sometimes disparage the experiments of Miller and Urey (apparatus illustrated below), pointing out that they did not make all of the amino acids we see today in any given run of the experiment. This criticism misses the point of the Miller-Urey experiments, as they intended to demonstrate __________.

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is : The experiments of Stanley Miller and Harold Urey, were intended to demonstrate that organic molecules can be made from inorganic building blocks in the absence of living organisms

Explanation: Miller was the first person to prove that amino acids and other organic molecules could have formed under conditions thought to resemble those of early Earth. Electrodes delivered an electric current, simulating lightning, into the gas-filled chamber.

Answer 2

This criticism misses the point of the Miller-Urey experiments, as they intended to demonstrate that organic molecules can be made from inorganic building blocks in the absence of living organisms.
