In S.L. Miller's 1953 experiment simulating early Earth conditions, he successfully synthesized organic molecules. What was the significance of this experiment in the context of the origin of life?
It demonstrated that organic molecules could be formed from inorganic molecules under abiotic conditions.
It proved that early Earth's atmosphere had very little free oxygen.
It established the role of RNA as the first genetic material.
It confirmed that early Earth's atmosphere was reducing.
