Primordial Soup: Interview with Stanley Miller

Posted by michael on from the just-add-boullion dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Stanley Miller's classic 'primordial soup' experiments showed that 13 of the 21 amino acids necessary for life could be made in a glass flask. For its fifty-year commemoration, Miller is interviewed today and reflects on what Carl Sagan called 'the single most significant step in convincing many scientists that life is likely to be abundant in the cosmos.'"

    If you're going to scream-capitalize words, at least spell them correctly, creationist.

    You argue that time did wonders, I argue that the LORD God did.

    So this distills down to: you (and evolutionists in general) believe life was created by your god, which is time. I (and young-earth Bible Believers in general) believe in the LORD God who created your god (time) and space and matter and physical laws and life.

    As Dave Moore puts it: "I'd rather believe in a big God and have small problems that believe in a small god and have big problems".
