<o> You are here again

The Miller experiments showed that life can indeed be created out of anorganic material, yes. Then there was Oparin and the coacervates, both those and more recent experiments show that "abiogenesis" is possible.

So there is no need to panspermia to get biological life going on planet earth, and sure it develops on other planets as well.

Still the existence of carbonaceous chondrites has to be put into the equation, those are "coal" meteorites that were not created on a planet, but carry amino acids obviously formed in space. Less than 5 percent of meteorites consist of this stuff, lots of them will burn by entering a dense atmosphere, but a tiny portion would be enough
