The Miller experiment is about earth's atmosphere, not the universe. To be honest, I did overstate that the primitive (It isn't academically correct to use the word primitive, now.)atmosphere hadn't any NH3, etc. There may have been traces, though NASA found none. Ammonia and methane are not at all "the most common molecules in the Universe," and surely you know that, since it contradicts your statement that "The Universe that I live in, is almost nothing but H2." The point is that informed scientists have known for a quarter of a century that the Miller experiment is flawed, and yet the agenda continues.

False: The Miller experiment was to demonstrate that basic hydrocarbons will combine to form Amino acids. That molecular chemistry was and is a fact.

Distortions of the basic experiment are for political or religious reasons.

And has essentially nothing to do w/ evolution - evolutionary biology deals with what came after. Nor is it part of current scientific thinking.

That's the thing about science, and I think it's what worries a lot people of faith - there are no hard-and-fast absolutes in science. Religious faith is the polar opposite, by necessity.
