Panspermia Catch 22

On the one hand, a planet needs enough gravity to hold
in the necessary gases to have the atmosphere that
leads to life.
On the other, 'there is probably not enough energy in
the most violent volcano eruption to eject gravel size
or larger rocks out of the gravity well of a
terrestrial planet and into space." 'Life As We Do Not
know It.'
Therefore it is highly unlikely for a planet with the
necessary gravity to begin life, to also eject that
life into space.
