Sorry, I was referring to headlines like- 'Cockroach found in Space!!!'. Maybe I should have said CT rather than ATM.

There are a few origin of life theories that get tossed around. Unless they're completely nutty, (cockroaches came from outer space!!!), I'm in no position to judge. I'm no expert.

But I have to say my current favourite is Miller's 'life evolved in ice' theory. Counter-intuitive and interesting.
