There has been recent evidence of amino acids from asteroids. This has made evolutionists excited because, to them, it shows that this important building block of life can form in space and hence makes the notion of abiogenesis a lot easier. First of all, while amino acids are major building blocks of life, they are still a long way from life. Second, at most, it shows that these asteroids had the conditions necessary to form amino acids. Finally, they are totally ignoring the Big Blue ball in the solar system that has loads of living things crawling all over it that themselves are filled with amino acids.
Recent sample missions from asteroids.
There have been some recent missions to asteroids, one of which actually returned samples. Perhaps the biggest surprise was the discovery of amino acids present in the samples. This has evolutionists excited at the prospect of this being evidence that life got started in space. Never mind the fact that, at most, it shows the presence of amino acids and possible conditions for producing them. It says nothing about the origin of life here on Earth. However, evolutionists desperately want any evidence they can for life in outer space, because to them, it increases the probability of abiogenesis being possible.
About the parent body of these asteroids.
This discovery indicates that the parent body of such asteroids is more likely than not to have life on it. After all, amino acids are a very important component of living things. So, if you want to find the original source of such asteroids and meteors, you need to find a planet that has life all over it. Strangely enough, there just happens to be just such a planet, and that planet is the Earth.
Earth has lots of amino acids and bacteria.
Earth would be the most logical source of these amino acids and even possible bacteria. After all, there are loads of living things, including bacteria, all over the Earth. Consequently, if you find amino acids or even bacteria in space, Earth would be the most likely place to consider as their source. The only problem would be how all the material got ejected into space. Fortunately, the Bible provides us with an answer to this question.
The eruption of the Fountains of the Great Deep during the Flood.
The Bible describes the Genesis Flood as being initiated by the breaking up of the fountains of the great deep, resulting in torrential rain. Because of the pressure that this subterranean water would have been under, large amounts of it, along with lots of rock, would have been ejected into space, eventually forming meteors, asteroids, and other bodies. In the process, there would have been bacteria and other living things in the way that would have gotten pulverized, and even possibly shot up with the water and rock.
Evolutionists will not consider Earth as a possible source.
The Earth would never be considered as a possible source for this material by evolutionists. First of all, their atheistic models lack any mechanism for getting this material into space. Second, it is contrary to what they actually want to be the case. What they want is for life to have gotten started in space so that they can move the origin of life to a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, and therefore beyond scientific scrutiny. Consequently, finding amino acids or even bacteria in space would excite them to no end, despite a perfectly logical, abundant source for this material right at hand.
The only alternative, the Genesis Flood on Earth.
One other reason for evolutionists dismissing Earth as a possible origin is the fact that the Genesis Flood and the Fountains of the Great Deep are the only possible mechanisms for getting this material into space from the Earth. This means accepting Earth as the origin, which means accepting the Genesis Flood, the Bible, and all that goes with it. This is counter to their entire atheistic dream of explaining how we got here, totally apart from God.
The best answer for their origins
The simple fact of the matter is that evolutionists have no real way of explaining where these amino acids came from. The best they can do is appeal to their blind faith that it might possibly be evidence of abiogenesis. Ultimately, the most reasonable explanation is that these amino acids were ejected from earth with the eruption of the fountains of the great deep during the Genesis Flood. It makes sense because the Earth is readily available, and the fountains of the great deep provide the necessary mechanism.
Conclusion
The discovery of amino acids and even possible bacteria in space is quite significant, but it does not mean that they originated in space. Given the fact that the breakup of the Fountains of the Great Geep, during the Genesis Flood, would have had more than enough power to eject this material well beyond Earth, it makes Earth the most likely source. Not just for the amino acids, but for the asteroids and meteors in which they are found as well.
