   Very good, Polly.  Have a cracker.  Now, show where I claimed that   
   Urey-Miller or any experiement resulted in life.  Hint: I haven't. I'm   
   just showing that the formation of the building blocks is amazingly   
   easy and happens as soon as the correct conditions exist. This   
   undermines the "it's impossible!" attack you are using.
