Panspermia is the idea that biological material or living organisms could have immigrated from one planet to another, essentially seeding planets with life...including Earth.

It's an interesting sci-fi concept . I quite liked Alien: Prometheus, Covenant was alright

It’s an interesting idea. Naturally just a hypothesis right now, but for instance if there’s really an ocean under the ice on Europa, and there is life in it, it would be a bombshell if it turned out to be genetically related to life on Earth. What an exciting discovery that would be.

My thoughts are that it's a bunch of bunk.

Microscopic life was found on the outside of our orbiting International Space Station... Ice Worms were found inside the ice of a glacier... Life has thrived near Volcanic vents... And sea life exists at the deepest and highly pressurized depths of the oceans... We also have some strange lifeforms in our oceans, which don't seem to be anything like, what has been mostly found on our world... raising the question to many scientists: "Why are they so different?" And so, it has become clear, that all kinds of life can exist is the very harshest of environments... Environments not suitable for humans!... People need to think outside "the 'Humanoid' box", of what might be possible...It is believed that fossilized life was found in meteorites from Mars... And it may be possible for life to exist inside of comets... Taking ALL evidence into account, And... I do believe that Panspermia is very possible. We are told that microscopic life has been found living outside our orbital International Space Station. Now here's the part where McDemuth says, "Who would lie about a thing like that?"

It's no more difficult to believe than something rising from the dead. We will likely not travel to other planets because we would likely die before we got there. If however we did make it we would record our arrival in the history of the new planet. Edit > I meant planets in other solar systems. The journey to other planets in this solar system is significantly shorter. In this case though there is the problem of finding a suitable and sustainable ecosystem.

Keep your BS Global Conspiracy Theories to yourself, unless YOU have proof that we have been lied to by the scientific community... And a simple Google search came up with several articles about the discovery. Here's just one: And somehow, I thought someone might question my comments about Ice Worms: You can do your own Google search about life living near volcanic vents, and life living deep in the oceans... There are all kinds of articles on those too! Does this mean you've abandoned the life-can-result-when-lightning-strikes-mud theory?

The implication is that life cannot readily evolve given the right conditions. It only begs the question of how life began on earth. As such, it's intellectually dishonest. So if you can tie yourself up with pointless speculation about alien life from outer space, you can avoid the question of how it actually all began HERE. My dear Gameboy, when people start talking about life being seeded here from elsewhere they haven't answered that question which begs to be answered. They have only moved that question from here to somewhere else.

They have only moved that question from here to somewhere else. Exactly, and that's my point. That's why I suggest it's almost cowardly to speculate that life couldn't evolve here and so must have come from outer space. We need to understand the environment required to spark life if we ever hope to find it on other planets. And we can only do that by studying earth. This alien stuff is a red herring. This seems to be one of those occasions when you and I agree on something.

In the minds of idiots, panspermia is the answer to the origin of life. Of course anybody who takes the trouble to read about it would know that it isn't that at all. It merely speculates that life might have originated on some other world, or in space, instead of on Earth. As such, only the ill informed see it as some kind of avoidance of the abiogenesis issue, let alone some sort of conspiracy. But then some people like being ill informed. And some people see conspiracies in everything. Almost like they desperately want, even need to believe in them.  |

No. No it doesn't.

If I were asked to place a bet on one one of two horses, Nature and Divine Magic, I know which one I'd pick, based on past performance.

Well it doesn't really contradict the Bible as far as I'm aware. For all we know God fashioned Adam out of panspermic (even a word?) material

Yes it does. It's arguing that abiogenesis did not occur on earth. The theory is that somehow the theory of evolution is insupportable so alternates must be put forward. Thus it avoids addressing real scientific facts in favor of science fiction fantasy. It's not "panspermia" perse, but I have hear some theories about a comet hitting the earth, the elements from the comet combined with the conditions of the planet coalesced into organic matter that would become the first life form on earth.

Like that one episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. I am more reminded of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, and Project Genesis.
