Have all 20 amino acids been formed in a Laboratory?

 

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.  And although some evolutionists "claim" they can all be made in a laboratory, they can't seem to back up their assertions with documentation.  Below is an email I sent to Dr. Kent Simmons to which No reply was given.

Dear Kent,
 

AT your web site ( http://io.uwinnipeg.ca/~simmons/Chap2698/tsld012.htm )

you state that :

 

The Urey-Miller experiments produced all 20 amino acids, ATP, some sugars, lipids, and the purine and pyrimidine bases of RNA and DNA.

 

·         The Urey-Miller experiments produced all 20 amino acids, ATP, some sugars, lipids, and the purine and pyrimidine bases of RNA
and DNA.

·         These building blocks must have been joined into long chains or “polymers”.

 

Other sites such as : http://www.astrobio.net/news/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=461

state that only 13 of the 21 amino acids were created. ... 

 

Have you published a paper on this?  If so, what is the reference?

Has anyone else been able to replicate your results?

 

Thanks for your time,

 

Randy Berg

To See what Miller, himself, says, see:  http://www.accessexcellence.org/WN/NM/miller.html

At least one site claims that 17 amino acids can be created, but whether or not this is at the same
 time and place they don't say. 

 

For example, this page:  http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/A/AbioticSynthesis.html 

 

This wikipedia article on Stanley Miller's famous experiment tells us that 11 of the 20 

amino acids can be made at the same time and place.
