Did life begin on comets?

No, it began at the Tiki Hut!

The problem with the whole “life from space” is that cosmic radiation rapidly destroys complex chemical chains.

Wickramasinghe worked with Sir Fred Hoyle, he’s worked in this theoretical field for quite a while now.

I fear there’s little chance of discovering protolife or a bacterium in a comet, though. A theory it shall remain.

Likely, yes. Life exists inside rock, originated inside rock, and that would include any rocky planet or other rocky celestial body that contains some hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon along with other elements, IOW should be mineralized.

Life began in the snot of an ancient and forgotten god and will end with the coming of the “great white hanky” of the apocalypse. Duh.

Panspermia.
Well, you know it wasn’t a term thought up by a feminist!
They would have called it the “Rape of the Innocent Universe”.

I kinda like it though, life in all it’s forms spreading across the cosmos, billions and billions and billions...

Sorry , it almost felt like I was channeling there for a second.

Not tired of this pseudo-science conjecture yet? Not tired of this “billions of years ago” guess work that ultimately means nothing, yet?

Interesting because a scientist I heard interviewed by Seth Shostak - who'd done many Miller-Type experiments on comets - stated almost explicitly the exact opposite.

She felt the best you could possibly hope for on a comet was some simple amino acids...other than that, the formation of even the simplest life would be impossible.

Yeah, life began on a distant comet and they used Arab made magic rugs to get to earth. Matter of fact, the only invention of the Arabs.

if comets came from earth we would be able to expect to find life, as well as clay, inside.

My favorite Comet was Rin Tin Tin.

He was the first Star with a tail on it.
