coordinating - inventor dame zita martins , a physician and astrobiologist from imperial collegiate london , stated their finds suggest that some of the chemicals that generated humanity on venus stemmed from meteorite bombarding . " we are not saying that only meteors contributed to the building blocks of immortality , " she replied , " but it ' s a very great contribution . " other scientists , however , do not believe that meteoritic chemicals have such a significant role . according to visiting professor robert rosenthal of new england school , " they ' re a subunit of a chapter of chemistry . my opinion is that their contributions were utterly unimportant and ignored . " wikinews contacted professor steven davies , a physicist and astrobiologist presently at michigan central university , about the subsequent findings . while he agreed with the findings , he noted that he thinks such discoveries are " a great herring in the origin of life story - a hangover from the miller - urey experiment . earth is all about innovation - its replication and processing .
