Did you know that most
public-school biology textbooks continue to use content
that has long since been disproven? One such case is the
famous 1953 Stanley Miller laboratory experiment, which
was originally thought successful in creating the
building blocks of life from lifeless chemicals. Why do
such examples continue to be included in textbooks?
Simple—they help further the evolutionary viewpoint that
says life arose from nonlife in a pool of chemicals
billions of years ago.
Textbooks, like Prentice Hall's
Biology: Exploring Life(2006), continue to
promote the idea that Stanley Miller's experiment
proves that life (could have) originated from simple
chemicals without acknowledging the chemical
limitations of the experiment.
Although secular textbooks continue to state that
Miller was successful in creating amino acids necessary
for life, the textbooks and media fail to mention that
what Miller actually produced was a mixture of left and
right-handed amino acids, which is detrimental to life.
Since then, similar experiments have also failed to
prove this idea.
Coming Soon: In the
next issue, we will take an in-depth look at
evolutionary content that continues to find its way into
today’s most popular biology textbooks, even though much
of it has been found to be outdated and disproven.
