They showed how organic molecules could be made from Earth's early atmosphere.
Brief note: Miller–Urey demonstrated that simple organic compounds (like amino acids) can form from inorganic gases plus energy (sparks), supporting plausible steps toward abiogenesis. They did not produce living organisms, nor prove that electricity "creates life," nor address natural selection.
