The creationist claim that an oxygen rich atmosphere invalidates Miller's evidence for abiogenesis is based on a ( likely intentional ) misreading of a 2004 paper titled " U-rich Archaean sea-floor sediments from Greenland - indications of >3700 Ma oxygenic photosynthesis. "

The paper discusses the transportation of uranium through oxygen rich water 3.7 billion years ago, indicating that photosynthetic organisms existed some 200 million years earlier than previously believed. Instead of invalidating the experiment, the paper only pushes the origin of life back a little, geologically speaking.

Lacking valid peer reviewed alternatives, the creationist community simply relied on one of their usual tactics, misrepresentation, to create yet another straw man in their unflagging efforts to discredit the truth of evolution.

Back to the drawing board for the creationists.
