This might be my favorite clip from the #SeldonCrisis interview with Robert #Zubrin. He explains how #panspermia very likely transmitted life to Earth with a compelling analogy of leaving food on the table and how bacteria will find it. The implications of this are so profound! #OriginOfLife

@seldoncrisis Panspermia cannot be ruled out but it would kick the question of the origin of life way down the road. I do bet that life is a feature of the Universe, not just the earth. Panspermia is sort of the 180 degree opposite of life originating on Earth, still a single genisi but somewhere else. i would argue for a multiple genesis, gas clouds birth stars, stars birth planets, planets birth life, life leaves the planet, etc. This would allow for the variation to allow Darwinian evolution to happen.
