And, in addition to that, the volcanic gas carbonyl sulfide promotes that peptide bond formation even in a "warm pond" of water.
Carbonyl sulfide-mediated prebiotic formation of peptides - PubMed is one link to one study on that....

Re: Your case is lost...

Mine is that it was pre-existing life arriving on rocks and comets.

From where? And from what origin there?

Re: Your case is lost...

I'll find the exact words of Kelvin or Helmholtz and then I'll post them.

But why would you bother? Has there not been about 105 years' worth of scientific investigation, including that into things like relativity, in the time that both of those gents have been in the grave?
