Sure is ... but THIS image;

" Comets also likely helped seed Earth with water and other ingredients of life."

Is just ...

TOO Johnny Appleseed for me to accept.

Since most scientists favor the “evolution” thing, that fits nicely into the scheme of things.

“And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.” Genesis 1:2

Many already agree that much of earth's water came from comets. And by "ingredients for life" they mean basic molecules such as amino acids. AAc have been detected in space.

"The hunt for amino acids in extraterrestrial sources began 50 years ago when scientists discovered a variety of non-terrestrial amino acids in meteorites, remnants of asteroids that had fallen to Earth. Their discovery revolutionized the field of astrobiology, reigniting the question of whether life, as we know it, existed elsewhere in the solar system and beyond.

Amino acids, in part, hold the key to ultimately answering that question. They are the building blocks of proteins—the workhorse molecules of life, used in everything from creating hair and fingernails, to the enzymes that speed up or regulate chemical reactions inside cells. Just as the 26 letters of the alphabet are arranged in limitless combinations to make words, life uses 20 different amino acids in a huge variety of arrangements to build millions of different proteins."

"Mar. 27, 2008 — Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy (MPIfR) in Bonn have detected for the first time a molecule closely related to an amino acid: amino acetonitrile. The organic molecule was found with a 30 metre radio telescope in Spain and two radio interferometers in France and Australia in the "Large Molecule Heimat", a giant gas cloud near the galactic centre in the constellation Sagittarius."

First, comets are not the only thing that seeds Earth with water and other ingredients. The Earth is constantly bombarded with water and minute particles.

If comets helped seed Earth, then they seed other planets as well. Johnny is a very busy boy.
