"Who says life was created on Earth? "

No one claims that as a proven fact. The fossil record seems to indicate it. It's a hypothesis. Most scientists believe there's life throughout the universe. Many think we'll find evidence of life on Mars, now that we're pretty sure there's been flowing water there at one time.

Why not having those aminoacids doing their combination somewhere else and life transported to Earth by meteorites?


It's an unnecessary step.

I believe it is a sign of human arrogance to believe life must have started from scratch on exactly our planet of all places in Universe.

There is nothing to say that life on our planet was the first life in the universe. It is pretty certain that speculation on the subject only happens on planets where there happens to be life, so no matter how rare the phenomina of life, the thinking about it will always be on a planet where the phenomina occurred. That's not arrogance, that just means that the life itself is a prerequisit to pontifications on life.
