In fact, the newfound crater, in Egypt, was likely carved by a space rock that was itself roughly 0.75 miles wide in an event that would have been quite a shock, destroying everything for hundreds of miles.
It seems that with this crater from a space rock and all of the other similar collisions that the earth has endured during its history, that there should be no signs of life on the planet.

There was one theory I heard, long ago, that Earth was fertile, but lacked that spark for life to begin - kind of like an unfertilized egg.
Without the event of the meteor collisions, the essential element(s) for life weren't present.

there should be no signs of life on the planet It might be interesting to note that these monstrous disasters are often associated with subsequent explosion of new species.
