Miller and Urey were not projecting that the storms that helped create the atmosphere we have today magically created organisms. The experiment proved that the atmosphere had in time created amino acids. It took millions of years to create the organisms that evolved into what we are today. The atmosphere that was being created in turn created the ozone that kept the sun burst from frying the earth itself. With the ozone the oxygen was trapped and was continuously being produced. Overtime the oxygen and amino acids began to create organisms that could survive because the atmosphere had changed drastically, yet over an enormous amount of time.
