...except it doesn't. I thought you knew your chemistry.

Do you know what the temperature of molten silicates is? 1100 or 1200 °C. In case you know your chemistry, which organic macro-molecules are stable at those temperatures and pressures of less than a few bars? Ammonia is not an organic macromolecule, assuming it's even stable to large concentrations in a reducing atmosphere at those temperatures. You're the purported chemist. You can look up the equilibrium constants for me because your impotent jeering is not enough to motivate me to do it.

I'm guessing you're still trying to figure how primitive life might be possible on the surface of Venus.

The point is that if panspermia is going to be considered an interesting alternative for how life arose on our planet, you might as well consult the research on abiogenesis, or else the arrival of the panspermia was timed just right.
