> Nucleobases found in meteorites

One part does not make the whole.Of course there are organic compounds in space, but only a small percentage of what is needed to make even the smallest self-replicating RNA, when the origin-of-life process even gets to that stage.

> The above is about why the enormous improbabilities calculated by creationists / intelligent desighners are nonsense. - The above carefully ignores the enormous series of contingent steps to get to life and the enormous odds against each step. I am not jumping to the living cell, de novo. Each step requires many factors and the enormous odds that necessary feed stocks are adjacent to each other. Faith in abiogenesis is pure faith, and only that. Please avoid the word 'nonsense', or I will start to find other nasty words for your faith.
