While the Miller-Urey experiment demonstrated that in the right circumstances amino acids will develop from inert matter, only an extended version of that experiment could ever substantiate the organization of amino acids into a functional protein.

The Miller-Urey experiment, and extended versions of that experiment demonstrated that natural science has a long way to go to try and explain a possible origin of life in the absence of intelligence.

The earth has been here for 4 1/2 BILLION years. (Give or take a week or two.) Life has existed for two BILLION years. Multi-cellular life has existed for one BILLION years.

How's that for an extended experiment?
