He didn't really "prove" anything. He demonstrated that if you take carbon dioxide, water vapor, and ammonia, and zap it with an electric current for a week or so, you form sludge which contains all kinds of interesting organic compounds.
This is fairly important conceptually, because it showed that using simple, purely physicochemical (that is, NOT biological) processes on very simple molecules it was at least possible to make reasonably complicated organic molecules.
Harold Urey and Stanley Miller were able to prove the hypothesis that conditions during the early portion of earth's formation were conducive to complex chemical reactions. These reactions formed amino acids, which are the bases of organic compounds that lead to life on earth.

Stanley Miller conducted experiments that showed that simple organic molecules can form from an inorganic 'soup'. These experiments show that organic molecules could have formed from the inorganic componets of the earth early in its history.
Stanley Miller and Harold Urey were two scientists who send electrical currents through gases that were believed to be Earth's early atmosphere (water vapor, ammonia, hydrogen, and methane). When the gases cooled, they thickened to make a salt water-like liquid that had things in it like amino acid, what is found in present-day cells.
Scientists don't "think" that the first life forms arose from non-living materials. However, they do accept abiogenesis as the only testable theory on the origins of life, as we know it. The Miller-Urey experiment set out to prove that the chemical components of life can arise from natural processes. While it does not prove life can come from non-living matter, it does show that its' components can arise naturally.

Stanley Miller was given an Oparin Medal for his work contributing the "origins of life."

the answer is Stanley Miller
YESSS
yes, he had two children.
Miller took molecules which were believed to represent the major components of the early Earth's atmosphere and put them into a closed system .
