		Miller received his Ph.D. from the (A university in Chicago, Illinois) University of Chicago in 1954.
		Miller used the laboratory simulation of chemical conditions on the primitive Earth to demonstrate that the spontaneous synthesis of organic compounds may have been an early stage of the origin of life.

		Miller's publication 2 years later showed how compounds of biochemical importance could be produced in high yields from a mixture of reduced gases.
		The origin of Miller's experiment can be traced to 1950, when Nobel laureate Harold C. Urey, who had studied the origin of the solar system and the chemical events associated with this process, began to consider the emergence of life in the context of his proposal of a highly reducing terrestrial atmosphere.
		But it was the Miller experiment, placed in the Darwinian perspective provided by Oparin's ideas and deeply rooted in the 19th-century tradition of synthetic organic chemistry, that almost overnight transformed the study of the origin of life into a respectable field of inquiry.

		Stanley Miller was only a second year graduate student at the University of Chicago, when he published a remarkable paper in 1953 on the synthesis of amino acids in prebiotic conditions.
		As a subject of his doctoral thesis Miller demonstrated experimentally that amino acids, the building blocks of the proteins, could be formed without the intervention of man in environmental conditions, which we have called prebiotic - similar to those that presumably were reigning at the earliest stages in the evolution of the Earth itself.
		Miller's work was an important step in the growth of the subject of chemical evolution.

		Miller’s “apparatus for the electric discharge synthesis of amino acids” had three essential components to simulate, in miniature, the primitive earth ambience of particular gasses, heat, rain, and flashes of lightning.
		Miller was expecting to find that an analysis of the liquid would reveal a complex mixture containing small amounts of a random assortment of organic compounds, but this was not the case.

	The Miller/Urey Experiment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		In 1953, Stanley L. Miller and Harold C. Urey, working at the University of Chicago, conducted an experiment which would change the approach of scientific investigation into the origin of life.
		At the end of one week, Miller observed that as much as 10-15% of the carbon was now in the form of organic compounds.
		Perhaps most importantly, Miller's experiment showed that organic compounds such as amino acids, which are essential to cellular life, could be made easily under the conditions that scientists believed to be present on the early earth.

		But this day was different because a second year graduate student, Stanley Lloyd Miller, was speaking, and the room was full because the word had spread that something important was to be presented.
		Miller reported that by sending repeated electric sparks through a sealed flask containing a mixture of methane, ammonia, hydrogen, and water vapor, he had made some of the amino acids found in proteins.
		While Miller was confident of his results, the rows of famous faces in his audience were, to say the least, intimidating.

	EXOBIOLOGY: An Interview with Stanley L. Miller
		In the early 1950s Stanley L. Miller, working in the laboratory of Harold C. Urey at the University of Chicago, did the first experiment designed to clarify the chemical reactions that occurred on the primitive earth.
		Years after this experiment, a meteorite that struck near Murchison, Australia, was shown to contain a number of the same amino acids that Miller identified and in roughly the same relative amounts.
		All of these pre-biotic experiments yield a racemic mixture, that is, equal amounts of D and L forms of the compounds.

		Miller was trying to simulate conditions that he believed existed on the earth millions of years ago.
		As for Stanley Miller's synthesis of amino acids, even with all the intelligence he interjected he still didn't produce, exclusively, the kind of amino acids that form the building blocks of life.
		Stanley Miller was not the only one who has ended up demonstrating the opposite of what he intended.

		Miller also says that organisms with right handed amino acids would be just as viable, although you could not combine left and right handed amino acids in a single organism, but you could have left or right handed organisms.

		At the time Miller was a 23-year-old graduate student working under Urey who was trying to recreate in his laboratory the conditions then thought to have preceded the origin of life.
		Urey and Miller assumed that the results were significant because some of the organic compounds produced were the building blocks of proteins, the basic structure of all life (Horgan, 1996, p.
		Miller’s results seem to provide stunning evidence that life could arise from what the British chemist J.B.S. Haldane had called the "primordial soup." Pundits speculated that scientists, like Mary Shelley’s Dr. Frankenstein, would shortly conjure up living organisms in their laboratories and thereby demonstrate in detail how genesis unfolded.

		In his apparatus, Miller created an "ocean" of water, which he heated, forcing water vapor to circulate around the flask.
		During Miller's analysis of this experiment, he was able to identify a number of amino acids, which are the building block of life.

		Stanley L. Miller in 1953, set up an experiment using the chemicals that Russian Scientist, Alexander I. Oparin, believed formed the first cellular life on earth--methane, ammonia, water vapor, and hydrogen.
		Miller then sent electrical sparks through the mixture, and within a week, amino acids, sugars, and other organic compounds were formed--thus showing that substances present in living things could come from nonliving materials in the environment.
		According to my science teacher--he is quoted in a large number of science textbooks as giving some support to the theory of evolution.

	Why Abiogenesis Is Impossible
		Miller seemed unimpressed with any of the current proposals on the origin of life, referring to them as “nonsense” or “paper chemistry.” He was so contemptuous of some hypotheses that, when I asked his opinion of them, he merely shook his head, sighed deeply, and snickered—as if overcome by the folly of humanity.
		A major drawback of the “warm little pond” origin- of-life theory is its apparent ability to produce sufficient concentrations of the many complex compounds required to construct the first living organisms.
		One day, he [Stanley Miller] vowed, scientists would discover the self-replicating molecule that had triggered the great saga of evolution....[and] the discovery of the first genetic material [will] legitimize Millers’s field.

	Prebiotic Soup--Revisiting the Miller Experiment [biogenesis]
		Miller had applied an electric discharge to a mixture of CH4, NH3, H2O, and H2--believed at the time to be the atmospheric composition of early Earth.
		Surprisingly, the products were not a random mixture of organic molecules, but rather a relatively small number of biochemically significant compounds such as amino acids, hydroxy acids, and urea.
		On 15 December 1952, well before the Miller paper was sent to Science, K. Wilde and co-workers had submitted a paper on the attempted electric arc synthesis of organic compounds using CO2 and water to the same journal.

		The oxygen content of the prebiotic atmosphere is also uncertain; however, the same lightning strikes that may have generated Miller's initial amino acids could just as easily have hydrolysed water into hydrogen and oxygen gasses.
		For there to have been a functional RNA world, or a functional ribo-organsim, derived from prebiotic precursors, on this planet, it seems to me that it must certianly have been designed, not by random chance processes, but by an external intellegence.
		The review in reference 2 from 1996 recapitulated Stanley Miller's disdain for the original Wachershauser paper in 1992.
