It's a bit of a simplification to say that everything got wiped out by an impact. More the lasting effect of that impact (and other contributing factors not related, specifically, to any impact event). Straw that broke the camels back kind of thing.
I doubt everything got wiped out.

Quote:Hey, couldn't scientists easily recreate the beginning of life on earth in a controlled environment?IDK, if they could, I don't think that it could really be described as being easy. The urey miller experiment, for example, didn't create life - and what we -do- know of the early conditions has told us that some of the parameters of that experiment were woefully wrong. It;s a popular experiment to point to not because it explains the origins of life, but because it answers any objections as to the impossibility of a natural origin.
