It could have been better, I’m more forgiving of the literary flaws I guess.

The idea our earthly life came here from space is not new, but it is far from accepted. Evidence is thin so far. As to that early phase of life-That’s where the material for panspermia may have come from. That early state had the conditions to make what spread over the eons. Just a speculation of course, really hoping more comes out on this later.

And good to see you back on the board BTW.

But how does that affect our view of our place in the universe? Our view of our place in the universe really isn’t affected by ‘amino acids combined in a certain way on earth’ vs. ‘they combined in a certain way somewhere else, then crashed here on a meteorite’.
