No, it doesn't. That "answer" (that life originated elsewhere and then made it's way to Earth) just replaces God of the Bible and the Creation myth with aliens (more gods) and another Creation myth.
Displacing the origins of life from Earth does
not answer the question of the origins of life. The question really then becomes, "How did it start in the first place?" Your Russian (who I suspect is actually a theist) has no answer for this (and doesn't want one), and tries to deflect the discussion into another one about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.
