The Miller-Urey experiment was the first attempt to reverse-engineer the conditions in earth's atmosphere that produced abiogenesis – the production of life from non-life. By recent analysis, the experiment did produce as rich a mixture of amino acids as life would require. But it produced those acids in a racemic mixture, and even secular scientists are not willing to accept this as the definitive proof of how life began.
