This is sooooo sinister.

To me, the preponderance of ever sillier theories illustrates the deperation and frustration experienced by Darwinists trying to make sense of the origins of life. Bob

IIRC, there is no known physical, chemical, or electrical process that explains much of the behavior of the molecules in a living cell.

These things are either self-aware and acting on purpose, which is preposterous, or something is directing them.

Life is not a natural process.

Life is a supernatural process.

The natural processes take over when you die.

Yes, and before they came from space, they came from farther away in space. And before that, they were delivered here in a Kansas homestead which was transported by a tornado.

Turtles all the way down. The most unsatisfactory of explanation-substitutes.

OK.

Where did the molecules originate from on the planets/asteroids/space dust that that brought them to earth?

This answers nothing.

assuming there was a difference in L vs R enantiomers in space,
what would happen once these molecules reproduced (how is that
done anyway?) on earth?Since earth conditions produce 50/50 racemic
mixtures they would reproduce as racemic mixtures,
and eventually any excess L vs R(derived from space) would
be degraded off...and we would end up with a 50/50 racemic m¡×.

As mentioned, how do these aminoacids reproduce??? I think they
are synthesized denovo from non biological entities...so back
to square one....

A good test of the hypothesis would be to get some of
that meteorite material which has excess L vs R, and
put it in a bath, with raw materials, lightning, electricity,
heat, etc...and find out the ratios of L vs R which
eventually develops....

Uhh....Does anybody know if the fingerprints on one hand are mirror images of the fingerprints on the other hand? (Can’t remember the terminology—it’s been 45 years or so.)

Asimov did at least one science-fact column, if not a series of columns, about this subject in the Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, waaaaay back.

Levo-rotary & dextro-rotary organic molecules: the hows, whys, whats, and implications to life on earth explained, as only he could explain them for the layman.

d-amino acids are produced by many bacteria.
