Has Alien Life Been Found In Earth's Atmosphere? I'm Gonna Go With "No".
In other words, if they can’t figure it out, it must be aliens. This “god of the gaps” argument leaves me underwhelmed.

Your Say
They inexcusably failed to consider that angels may have taken them there.
There is, after all, just as much reason to believe in angels as ETs.

Just as rational: "In the absence of a mechanism by which large particles like these can be transported through space we can only conclude that the biological entities originated from earth."

My biggest problem with "panspermia"-life on earth originating in space, is that it essentially solves nothing. You're simply outsourcing the life generation process to somewhere else. How did that "life" originate? Oh, that must have come from another source, and so on and so forth. So "panspermia" answers nothing as to how life originates.
