NASA is confident that these, at least, did. (Of course, they could also have simultaneously been created terrestrially - but that doesn't change the fact that they were also created in space.)
We have three lines of evidence that together give us confidence these DNA building blocks actually were created in space. (http://www.nasa.gov/topics/solarsystem/features/dna-meteorit...)

#10My biggest fear is dying before mankind finds the definite scientific answer to death and our origin/s. We seem to be so near (~ one century away).
