And your link is total nonsense.

Made sense to me.

The evolutionists first tried to show that abiogenesis could have happened here on earth. That was disproven . . .

Fiction. Nothing of the sort has happened.

. . . so like good liars, they now take it into space.

The article misrepresents nothing. You might notice on that thread where I linked an article on carbonaceous chondrite meteorites.

As with the CI chondrites, the CM chondrites are well known to contain a wealth of complex organic compounds. The well-studied meteorite of Murchison, a CM2 that fell in Australia in 1969, was found to contain more than 230 different amino acids, whereas on earth only 20 different amino acids are known and used as fundamental building blocks of life. Some of these extraterrestrial amino acids were found to exhibit strange isotopic signatures that might indicate that they don't have their origin within our solar system. These amino acids are believed to represent actual interstellar matter from other systems and nebulae that were trapped in this meteorite more than 4.5 billion years ago.

Because of this fact, some researchers have promoted the idea that Murchison and other CM chondrites, e.g. the witnessed falls of Murray, and Nogoya, might be of cometary origin, but recent research indicates that certain dark asteroids within the main asteroid belt are the real source of the CM meteorites. There is for example a certain spectral match between the reflectance spectra of the CM chondrites and the largest asteroid of our solar system, 1 Ceres - an irregular dark chunk of matter in the size of Texas. However, recent research has found an even closer match, at least for Murchison - the asteroid 19 Fortuna which is a good candidate to be the lost parent body of this peculiar meteorite and maybe of the other CM chondrites, too.

The idea hinted at here is that a lost, ripped up planet whose destruction created much of the asteroid belt once generated these amino acids in an environment rather like the one in the Miller experiment. Frozen chunks of the same are apparently still floating around out there. A bombardment of this type of material may have assisted any native earth processes making such compounds as well. Extra stock for the soup.

The Miller experiment was totally disproven, it in no way simulated the situation on earth - and that is why the atheists took it into space. If there had indeed been an asteroid that had all those amino acids - as you say one was found in 1969 - there would have been no need for this experiment, so that asteroid stuff was garbage or a total lie - just like three or four years ago they said they had proof of life from a Martian asteroid. Big headline disproven a year later - very, very quietly.
