The experiment had nothing to do with evolution though, as the origin of life is not covered in evolutionary theory.
But it is part of Darwinist theory, which is what I was talking about. You keep switching from Darwinism to Evolution like they're the same theory. They're not.

Recent research shows they may have been closer than you think. Also, they showed organic compounds form under natural conditions
In an atmosphere with artificially high amounts of free hydrogen, they were able to create glycine. No one has been able to create any complex amino acids in a primitive earth atmosphere.

No, it has nothing to do with Darwin or evolution.

There is no *Darwinism*, other than in the deluded minds of creationism. There is the theory of evolution.
I'd recommend you read either Darwin's Black Box or Icons of Evolution just so you get the most basic understanding of the theory you're railing against.
I had to sit through six years of Darwinist B.S. so I've bothered to investigate both sides. I find Darwin's ideas full of holes.

No, it isn't. Tell you what, go off and endlessly amuse yourself trying to document this claim. And no, creationist misrepresentations or "quote-mining" don't count.

And the difference would be...?
If you're trying to say that "Darwinism" is the things which Darwin wrote about, then I'd love to hear your explanation for how the Miller-Urey experiment, which took place long after Darwin was dead, is "part of Darwinist theory". This should be amusing.
That was going to be the very question I asked him!
I was disagreeing with the notion that students (of all people), should be allowed to decide what is or isn't science.
I believe Santorum is gun shy after all the flack he's taken for some of his previous outspoken and controversial positions. (gay issues, the Schiavo case etc)
He's worried about losing his Senate seat and is trying to play it safe.
When Owl_Eagle posted "six years of University biology," there was no mention of having been in any of the classes ... much less having slept through them.
You claimed that, "I love biology and bet I could run circles around you in any discussion on the topic", and yet both times I've tried to get you to engage in a discussion on that very topic, you vanished from the thread...
Ready now?
Santorum looks like Michael Jackson doing the moonwalk.
Game, set, match!

Are you REALLY that hard up for somebody to debate with?
FR is a BIG place.
Believe it or not my life doesn't center around entertaining and responding to your every comment. I doubt if I even read your last post.
I've debated evolution for years in online forums and could probably address every detail of every challenge you present simply by cutting and pasting from my archives.
It gets boring really fast dude.
You can spend every minute of everyday trying to disprove Creation or ID and push evolution till you reach Hell for all I care.
I know what it's like trying to talk in the black hole of unbelief and wonder if there's really anybody there to convince of anything.
So don't expect me to waste my time engaging you when I tire of a discussion. Move on bro.

I am not a scientist. That is the point. Why can't scientists try to figure it out? Doesn't science try to find answers to questions?
I'm sure students make decisions regarding homosexuality. How could they not the way the schools push it on them?
