-Miller-Urey demonstrated that lightning in a reducing atmosphere can produce dozens of complex organic molecules.

-Simple experiments have demonstrated that some 'pure' RNA molecules (without any cell structure around them) can reproduce themselves indefinitely, given the right concentrations of chemicals in the water around them.

Obnoxiously immodest earns accolades around here. Well, if you're an atheist it does. Go figure.
