here's what's interesting,

If science is proposing the earth could of been seeded externally with the components of life .

it also must concede that life itself could have been seeded on earth

which would have been in conflict with theory of evolution that that all life evolved on earth.

If something is seeded on earth from the outside from space..

then it did, for all intent “magically appear” one day on earth and in the fossil record....

something we repeatedly told by people claiming they are speaking scientific truth it's been prove didn't happen...

So you have a creationist saying life appeared one day on earth, and it was created

And you have evolutionist saying science tells them that the sudden appearance of life on earth is prove nonsense and that it evolved

And now have science saying it's possible life appeared one day on earth because it was seeded from outside from space

Ingredients for Life....sounds like some sort of coffee table book to me..

tophat9000: "If science is proposing the earth could of been seeded externally with the components of life."

It's just hype, since "components of life" simply means organic (carbon-based) chemicals, such as have been observed in interstellar dust clouds.
Such chemistry is not even as close to being "alive" as, for example, crude oil.

tophat9000: "it also must concede that life itself could have been seeded on earth"

Sure, "could have", but so far we have no evidence of that.
Indeed, such evidence as we do have suggests otherwise.

tophat9000: "which would have been in conflict with theory of evolution that that all life evolved on earth."

DNA evidence, among others, suggests that all life began with common living ancestors.
Evolution theory itself does not confirm how life first began.
Various hypotheses related to abiogenesis suggest life's roots are in self-replicating organic chemistry.
But the panspermia hypothesis cannot yet be ruled out.

The geological record shows evidence of very simple "life", or complex organic chemistry, within a few hundred million years of Earth's formation, some 4+ billion years ago.
The record suggests such "life" becoming steadily more complex over the next 3+ billion years, until the Cambrian Explosion circa 500 million years ago.
Of course, that doesn't prove life originated on Earth, but so far at least there's no evidence it originated somewhere else.

tophat9000: "And you have evolutionist saying science tells them that the sudden appearance of life on earth is prove nonsense and that it evolved

No, no scientist has ever found evidence of "life" seeded from outer space.
What they've found are relatively simple organic (carbon based) chemicals in outer space, chemicals which could easily have landed on earth during its formation, or any time since.
They speculate such chemicals might have helped self-replication get a start here, or maybe not.
