Why would they think Earth was "seeded" with life? Why not start with
and prove or disprove life originated here? What is the attraction for
scientists of this theory?

Because if material can move between planets, provide an environment
where primitive life or complex biochemicals can survive, and the
material can be ejected under conditions that wouldn't sterilize the
contents, than any _responsible_ scientist has to consider this as a
viable possibility, even if it isn't the most likely. In fact, all of
these conditions appear to be true; I, for one, am very happy that a few
scientists are pursuing research in this area.
