I would like to understand why you can accept life 'spontaneoudly sprouting' on a comet, but not Earth.
Who said it spontaneously sprouted ANYWHERE? Perhaps a comet was formed somewhere that life existed previously and was simply a vehicle. I am a firm believer in an infinite past during which life has ALWAYS existed somewhere. There was never a beginning or a "creation" of any kind. Our universe is within an entire infinite cosmos of universes. OUR universe had a beginning, but all of the materials of its makeup already existed within that cosmos.
