Sorry, I probably wasn't clear enough with the Methane. My point is this.
If Methane comes, only from living oganisms, then Millers experiment requires the pre-existence of life in order for the experiment to work in the first place.

That is, if I am correct that living organisms are the only source of methane.
I am not at all sure that I am correct here.

Miller tried to reproduce one specific scenario that not longer exists on earth.

But now we have left the realm of real and observable evidence and entered the realm of human imagination.
Dosn't necessarily meant that what you are saying is wrong, but it is not based on real observable evidence.
My saying that amino acids and proteins cannot exist outside of the cell is based on real observable evidence
Dosn't necessarily mean it is right but if I am to rely solely on real and observable evidence and ignore fairytales
then which is more likely to be fairytale.
