No, never! He wrote a book, after all, so surely he must know what he's talking about!
I can't believe anyone actually believes this drivel.
NASA-funded researchers have evidence that some building blocks of DNA, the molecule that carries the genetic instructions for life, found in meteorites were likely created in space. The research gives support to the theory that a “kit” of ready-made parts created in space and delivered to Earth by meteorite and comet impacts assisted the origin of life.

Scientists have detected the building blocks of DNA in meteorites since the 1960s, but were unsure whether they were created in space or resulted from contamination by terrestrial life. The latest research indicates certain nucleobases — the building blocks of our genetic material — reach the Earth on meteorites in greater diversity and quantity than previously thought.
The discovery adds to a growing body of evidence that the chemistry inside asteroids and comets is capable of making building blocks of essential biological molecules. Previously, scientists found amino acids in samples of comet Wild 2 from NASA’s Stardust mission and in various carbon-rich meteorites. Amino acids are used to make proteins, the workhorse molecules of life. Proteins are used in everything from structures such as hair to enzymes, which are the catalysts that speed up or regulate chemical reactions.
If a cascade of meteors struck Earth billions of years ago, could they have deposited genetic blueprints and forged an indelible link between Earth and another planet?
Perhaps. Although that puzzling question remains unanswered, scientists have uncovered a new clue that suggests it is possible for DNA to withstand the extreme heat and pressure it would encounter when entering our atmosphere from space.
The findings suggest that if DNA traveled through space on meteorites, it could have conceivably survived, says lead author Oliver Ullrich of the University of Zurich. Moreover, he says, “DNA attached to a spacecraft has the potential to contaminate other celestial bodies, making it difficult to determine whether a life form existed on another planet or was introduced there by spacecraft.”
The reality is that neither you nor anyone else unless specifically involved with ET DNA would know either way so speculating on it as ''fact'' is ludicrous.
The reality is that you still do not have extraterrestrial DNA, as your own disappointing tests proved, and no amount of special pleading [or alchemy] will make it so.

Sounds like you're confused about comments. The fact is that you know nothing of ET DNA so cannot speculate on it.
I posted NASA research that suggests DNA arrived from space.
I said this:

Then you replied some primary school genetics about humans not needing ET DNA, as DNA is already from space, which I already said and also said because neither you nor anyone else, unless specifically interacting with ET DNA have any clue as to it's properties, therefore cannot speculate on it's influence on human DNA.
You said this, which you are not in any position to say, due to not knowing anything of ET DNA.

Now you are claiming this:
Knowing exactly ALL the types of DNA that has been 'brought' to or arrived on Earth?
Knowing and researching the DNA of ''advanced sentient alien beings''?
Disputing research that proves DNA being brought on meteorites?
I suspect you are lying.

You are correct. But the clock still stared about 4 billion years ago. Sorry if I was unclear.
Well...actually; you don't have any idea the kinds of research I'm involved in. Alien DNA being one of them.
You need to "get over" the whole idea of "Alien", stick to what it actually is: Extraterrestrial...as differentiated from Alien.
DNA from almost any extraterrestrial creature will resemble Terrestrial creatures to a very great extent. Further, when it comes to the advanced sentient space faring kinds; they are, for the most part, barely distinguishable from Terrestrials. In the case of my research specifically, the differences were in the allele counts at several markers.

I do know a lot about science and 'ET', I have written a lot about such things on ATS, so stop fooling yourself into pretending you are an 'ET scientist' and everybody else as stupid.
Perhaps you ate just a silly kid. Either way do not bother replying to me, my respect for you is zero. You are just like all the other trolls that are the scourge of ATS.
You said this then argued yourself:
