I'd surprisingly been thinking about this just a while ago. Definitely not the wrongest, but one of the weirdest things I have been taught was the theories of the origin of life. I remember being pretty confused by most of them (though the most accepted one made sense to me), but the one that said that life came from a meteorite from space was the one that tripped me up the most. AND WHERE DOES THE FREAKING LIFE THAT THE FREAKING METEORITE BROUGHT TO EARTH COME FROM?! It told me pretty much nothing.

I searched it up just to see if it really existed, and lo and behold, it is the seventh theory of the first result that I found which states exactly what I thought haha
