How did life form from inorganic matter?

If I’m not mistaken, prokaryotes were the earliest life forms, but what factors played into effect of making them? Did a specific chemical reaction change inorganic matter to life or was it brought to Earth from extra terrestrial objects?

Organic matter just means that the matter is carbon based and such matter has always been present on earth. The real mysterious element of life on earth is about its amino acids. Amino acids can also form spontaneously through known reactions but the naturally occurring amino acids on Earth are what’s known as “D-Amino Acids” but all life on earth is based on “L-Amino Acids”. Because of this there is ever increasing support for the theory that life on earth arose thanks to impact from comets and asteroids containing those types of amino acids. A specific meteor that struck Earth on September 28, 1969, over Murchison, Victoria, Australia contained tons of L-Amino Acids and water as well, creating a big push for the acceptance of this theory.
