This shows an image of a large (100 µm diameter) and very complex, thick-walled, carbon-rich (kerogenous) microfossil that the scientists have tentatively identified as a hystrichosphere. Credit: arxiv.org/abs/1303.1845

Of course. Why else would they invent a spurious scientific discipline such as “astrobiology”, which sounds a lot like Star Trek technobabble?

Darwinian evolutionists are extreme in their opposition to the idea that life originates elsewhere than Earth.

My personal opinion is that they came from earth to begin with.

Well then...a perfect organic solution to clear up this invasion would be a liberal application of H2O2.

My infinite observation is that Earth came from somewhere else and will return there at some point in time.

According to Wallis and colleagues, this confirms that life on Earth had an extraterrestrial origin...
...It is not even certain that the samples came from the fireball.

"Scientists", not. Theorize, but don't say "confirms" when there is much uncertainty. Even if by slim chance the fragments came from the fireball, earth fragments have been thrown into space by previous collisions with asteroids, and that same earth could have returned. Martian and Lunar meteorites are found in polar ice here on Earth, cast off by collisions on those bodies. I tend to believe these guys are speculating and don't have proof.

” confirms that life on Earth had an extraterrestrial origin.”

Which keeps the myth alive we are destroying this planet because everything we do is no earth like - despite the massive studies of common DNA and parts in all creatures here.

These people are less then stupid and only getting grant money to fail.
