I have all the ingredients but still can not make a good souffle.

The findings do not show evidence for life itself, but they do suggest the conditions necessary for the emergence of life were widespread across the early solar system, increasing the odds life could have formed on other planets and moons.

I have all the ingredients for creating a simple cake in our kitchen, increasing the odds that such could have formed in other kitchens and cupboards. By themselves, under the just-right conditions.

To believe that an exceedingly vast, systematically ordered universe, exquisitely finely tuned for complex life with its profound intricate complexity and extensive diversity, can be all a result of purely natural processes requires much faith. More so i submit, than that the universe logically testifies to design, requiring a First Cause (at the least), that of a being of supreme power and intelligence being behind the existence of energy and organization of matter, and laws regarding the same.

The potential for life is built into the very structure of matter from the tiniest subatomic particle to atoms themselves and the way they combine with other atoms.

Atoms are an erector set for life.

Of course the asteroid had “a mix of life’s ingredients” since it was composed of atoms.

One thing that mystifies me in the search for extraterrestrial life is that the assumption is made that life can only exist as we know it.

Perhaps out there, there are organisms that thrive on sulphur dioxide and hydrochloric acid while oxygen and water are deadly poisons to them.

We don't have a clue but we certainly have a bias.

Not very scientific, but rather than spending all your time
trying to prove a random association of all this stuff created life on our very special Earth.
Why not try to figure out how God put us all together,
using all this stuff? It sure as heck isn’t random,
it is way too ordered.
My religion teaches that I’m made in the “Image of God”.
It may be a physical image, but that image houses a soul
that transcends the physical. Because my physical image will die. I don’t believe the soul does.
As for are there others?
I think God put us far enough apart that we will never interact in our euclidean space.

“The reason life “turned left” instead of right remains a mystery.”

So it’s one of life’s eternal mysteries…and we wonder why that happens every single day.

Formaldehyde is a poison and I have not read any reports of life forming on any product containing formaldehyde nor embalmed bodies.
