We might be it for a few lightyears.

It does. Fitting data to match the required results is almost status quo in this day and age, eventually it all comes out and gets explained, but in the meantime......



If life didn't originate on earth, when and where did it have time to originate in space? I mean, we are talking about a one in a trillion chance, then to crash into our planet and not be made sterile by the fiery decent though an atmosphere....which http://www.nasa.gov/topics/solarsystem/features/life-components.html makes them sterile unless we find something capable of living through plus 1000 degree temperatures encountered on the way through.

... The article you linked to has science triumphing over the pop cultural notion that autism is linked to vaccinations. Are you trying to agree with me, or debate my point? Science is not influenced by popular culture, popular culture tries to create technology from science.


As to the other point, you are looking at my statement incorrectly. Either life came from Earth, or it came from outside Earth. If the atmosphere is the blurry line you draw, the only third option would be that it existed prior to the Earth existing and the Earth happened to form around it.



For the record, the equation for a several thousand degree object assumes that the impact occurs instantly, and on a non-deformable surface. Assuming those conditions aren't met (like a water impact), the temperature might only be a few hundred degrees C. There are plenty of extremophiles that can survive that.

Science may not be influenced by pop culture but its certainly influenced by financing and politics. Follow the money if you ever want the real truth.
