Sterilization (or sterilisation, see spelling differences) refers to any process that effectively kills or eliminates transmissible agents (such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, spore forms, etc.) from a surface, equipment, article of food or medication, or biological culture medium.[1][2] Sterilization does not, however, remove prions. Sterilization can be achieved through application of heat, chemicals, irradiation, high pressure or filtration.
Prions are hypothesized to infect and propagate by refolding abnormally into a structure which is able to convert normal molecules of the protein into the abnormally structured form. All known prions induce the formation of an amyloid fold, in which the protein polymerises into an aggregate consisting of tightly packed beta sheets. This altered structure is extremely stable and accumulates in infected tissue, causing tissue damage and cell death.[4] This stability means that prions are resistant to denaturation by chemical and physical agents, making disposal and containment of these particles difficult.
But i know space is a vacuum endless..there is no such thing as a entry point or exit point.
yes it can

At the time i believe you are referring to, soon after the Big Bang, when the entire universe was unfathomably hot, the Earth did not even exist. Billions of years passed before dust clouds aggregated to form Earth's rocky mass. Yes, the Earth was extremely hot during that period, but as more time passed and the planet's surface cooled, life was able to form.
Here's an analogy:
At the time when a plate of Chinese take-out is cooked, it is extremely hot. Hot enough to scour all life from the surface of the food. Place the leftovers in the fridge for a few days, however, and you best believe that your mongolian beef plate is teeming with life. Enough so that the bacteria can cause an adverse reaction within your stomach and give you the worst case of food poisoning this side of Hong Kong.

Again...heat doesn't have anything to do with "clumping". As a body aquires more mass it's gravity increases allowing more mass to be attained. Sure this pressure forms heat but that's a byproduct of the effects of gravity and mass.
This is high school physics.

How do you know this is fact? You'll need to provide sources for this information if you have them

Your argument is flawed. You assume that your theory of a "sterilized" universe is fact. Until you can provide sources to back up your theory it's pretty much worthless.

But the clumping makes heat that's how it sticks and CLUMP'S.
there was no dust until it had started to cool down
The heat from a big bang would have made the dust sterile when BANG!!! it was made.
except that when the univere cooled and matter formed it formed organic coumpounds and created enviroments where oganic compound could form (theres sugar based compounds floating around in space how cools that)
There fore no way is it possible for bacteria simple cell organism's exist or form from a sterile vacuum.known as a big bang.
