<< Ninety-eight percent of Miller's results were poisionous to life (tar and carboxylic acid). >>
Not only that, he had to cheat and separate the amino acids he did produce, lest they be destroyed if left in their natural surroundings. No doubt there was a laboratory near the first living cell that arose out of dead matter, so it could be separated from its environment, lest it die.
BTW, if Miller had been succesful, he would've proved an INTELLIGENT DESIGNER can CREATE life. That's what we've been saying all along.

I enjoy it when a creationist completely misunderstands the point behind an experiment. It appears that you think that Millery-Urey was actually meant to create life. No. It was an experiment to create an environment like the early Earth (what it was believed to be at the time), and see what kind of organic molcules shake out.
What's even more funny is that there are experiments that have occurred in the past 5 years that have achieved many of the same results that Miller/Urey did, with an atmosphere much like the atmosphere that the early earth is currently believed to have. Check out Some interesting Miller-Urey observations. I've never read Jonanthan Wells, but it appears you folks are spouting his bad arguments verbatim.
