What's the hurry?In the earliest period of the history of the planet, it was a body devoid of life, and conditions on the planet were far from conducive to the appearance of life, particularly during the episode termed "The Late Heavy Bombardment"[1] by scientists, which saw intense bolide impact activity taking place on the planet's surface. Once this episode, and subsequent episodes postulated to have taken place, were complete, the Earth cooled, a solid crust formed, and liquid water in quantity began to appear. Thus, the stage was set for the processes that were to result in the emergence of life.
There is no evidence to support the conclusion that there was no life during the bolide impact period, it is pure speculation.
What is clear is that the bolide impacts would have removed any evidence of life before this period.
...so we simply don't know.
And your point is?
