Saying that life originated on meteors doesn't really answer any questions about the origins of life. It only pushed the origin of life further back. It's like saying the Earth is supported on the back of an elephant. When you ask what holds up the elephant, you are told it is a turtle, and when you ask what holds up the turtle, you are told another turtle. If this doesn't satisfy you, and you ask what hold that turtle up, you may be told, in a somewhat acerbic tone, *"It's turtles all the way down."* When considering this question, there are a couple of points to keep in mind: * No one has ever observed life arising from lifeless matter anywhere on or off this planet. * Despite all its efforts over close to a century of experimentation, science has never been able to produce life from lifeless materials in the laboratory. Life is emanated from pre-existing life, the way one burning candle can be used to light another, and that candle a third, and so on in an infinite sequence. About the origin of life -- what lights the first candle -- science knows exactly nothing. This has led me to make the somewhat obvious speculation that life may originate outside our reality, outside our perceived universe of time and space. My reasoning -- if life has never been observed originating from lifeless materials anywhere, throughout human history, maybe this is because it does not originate in our material universe. This is not a proven statement, this is a speculation based on observation. However, it seems probable to me. It says nothing about the nature of this Source that lies outside of time and space. About that, you may draw your own conclusions.
