Suppose living matter came to earth on an asteroid. That still doesn't explain how living things emerge from non-living matter.

That looks like argument from complexity. And it seems that complexity through planning would require an even more complex creator, not a simpler one.

I don't think it makes a difference either way. If we can figure out one way of making life from non-living matter, we've cracked the code, we don't need to know how exactly it happened.

I think you need to read back over what I said and consider that you've _completely_ misunderstood it.
