Organic molecules are present in comets. They presumably have formed in the cold extremes of space.

Yes, that's true. Quantum tunneling effects permit the formation of aldehydes and such in interstellar gas clouds; chemicals which should not be able to form in such low temperatures.

But that is a long way from "life bearing", unless the definition of the term considers such compounds as "seeds" that will continue on to form amino acids and such if and when they reach favorable conditions.

If one adheres to such theories anyway, which I do; that is, life is simply a consequence of physical law, albeit the most complex and still largely unexplained one.
