Thanks for the articles. I glanced at them and will eventually get to reading them. From the articles, I learned I was referring to the Stanley Miller experiments and the bottom-up approach. From what I read, my point was that the chemical composition of early Earth was not as scientists originally assumed, and this chemical compostition was not as conducive with the production of the building blocks of life. This has caused scientists to look for alternatives such as life originating below the Earth's surface. I had forgotten about the whole comet theory. I was simply saying experiments will need to show that the building blocks of life can form in these settings rather than in the Stanley Miller setting. My understanding of biology comes more from mass publsihed books than scholarly articles, and it seems these books are always referencing the Miller experiment. That is why I was referring to that experiment.
I also do not support Ross's theory. I thorougly believe in evolution and think it will eventually supply the answers for how life originated on Earth, but I do not think it has gotten there yet.

No problem. If you want to read more journal papers then Pubmed Central has a range of free articles available on the NCBI website:

Pubmed has plenty more articles but you have to pay for them or be part of an instituition that has paid the subscription/license costs.
