This article suggests in order to know where to look in the universe for life we must first understand how it began on Earth.

Does this conflict with an hypothesis that life began with the 'accidental' creation of amino acids - peptides - proteins? I don't remember much of that, so I can't answer my own question?! Any ideas?

I don't think it conflicts, if one considers life to be what the scientific definition is, here.
