"It required controlled conditions to produce amino acids."

Explanation: Miller and Urey produced amino acids in a lab setup using a specific gas mixture and electric sparks. The experiment did not reproduce the exact early-Earth environment (that is still disputed), did not make large amounts of information-rich polymers (like RNA/DNA), and only simulated possible natural processes under tightly controlled conditions.
