Well as De Duve says, "There is... ample evidence that a number
of biogenic compounds can form spntaneously under primitive
Earth conditions, in interstellar space, and on comets and
meteorites." BUT
that ain't life - and in due time I think you'll see that you need
1. water
2. wet dry cycle (not all water all the time)
3.. UV from the sun.

It's the sun that makes the planet, supplies the chemicals
forces them to change, and adapt to the heat cycle or be destroyed.

PS Ventists are all wet!
