It may help, but probably not a great deal. After all, we can't be sure that the conditions in which these possible organic compounds formed are the exact conditions we had on earth.

I'd still stick with the Miller-Urey experiment as our best evidence.

Probably not. It was rich in carbon and no life was found. It's a case of the press distorting science again.
