The Urey Miller experiment took a mixture of materials thought to be present on earth and energized it by passing and electrical discharge through the material. The important organic molecules that were produced were amino acids and other complex molecules.

The Miller-Urey experiment sought to test the hypothesis that the conditions present on early Earth favored the synthesis of more complex organic compounds from simpler ones. One can use this experiment to illustrate how experiments test hypotheses, and how scientists seek to conduct such experiments multiple independent times before accepting a conclusion.

It proved that starting with simple chemicals and an electric spark you could make a sludge containing reasonably complex chemicals such as amino acids in a fairly short period of time.
