Panspermia is a rational conjecture, considering that space is full of organic molecules. It has nothing to do with the process of evolution, however, and it is just a conjecture.

Yes, you are correct--its is only a conjecture.
You are also correct that it has little if anything to do with evolution (unless somehow life made a "choce" to be L instead of D, and that is based on L's superiority).
I merely was describing how this notion-- with dubious evidence at best but having at least acknowledged the problem of chirality-- is a mainstream if not the most plausible abiogenesis theory out there. And this to me shows the sad state of faith in abiogenesis.
Really, this thread's topic is woefully out of date and whose elements have already been disproved the more we learn about science.
