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

I smell “Grant Money!”
Darwinian evolutionists are extreme in their opposition to the idea that life originates elsewhere than Earth.
Once upon a time...
My personal opinion is that they came from earth to begin with.
Yeah, everyone knows that Algae grows on comets travelling through space...
Well then...a perfect organic solution to clear up this invasion would be a liberal application of H2O2.
"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.
The old spontaneous generation myth dies hard if at all.
Ping me when they find Tribbles.
” 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.
Waiting for the paper to be retracted.
Occam’s Razor suggests that the simplest answer is most likely the correct one.
Thus, this explanation holds the most water:
“A long ago asteroid impact could have ejected rocks and water with biological material into space.”

So that’s where libs come from.
"In this book, Fred Hoyle expresses an opinion which is rejected by most other scientists. He claims that all of life on our planet is descended from microbes which arrived in a meteor shower. Although other scientists say that a microbe could not survive the hot temperature which results from entering the atmosphere, Hoyle argues to the contrary."
That's a pretty big leap from fossils which may have microorganisms to saying that's how life on Earth happened. I'm sensing a request for, for, for Grant money, that's it, yes, that's what I hear the voices in my head telling me.
1. The rock has not been shown to have any connection to the meteor in question. The rock has never even been identified as a meteorite, and does not appear to be a meteorite.
2. The diatoms aren’t fossilized and are local to the area where the rock was found. That is, these are earthly diatoms.
3. The publication is well-known for publishing reports that don’t pass muster for publication in accepted scientific journals.
There’s a fire....
