Considering the almost impossible long odds of DNA developing on earth, then having compatible DNA develop in multiple parts of the universe, then make the incredible long journey through space (and survive that journey through a vacuum) and then all converge on earth, (after surviving the burn of re-entry), this theory sounds more like a C- high school paper.
The math of DNA on earth boggles the mind.
There are also folks who thing fungi is of non-terrestrial origin.

Considering that interstellar space is a continuous bath of deadly radiation, I am skeptical.
It has to be 100% absolutely correct. It’s science and Americans are told every day. Put the mask on. Take the shot. It’s settled science just like climate change
It’s all the same space, earth is just one of a billion spots in this area of space. This doesn’t sound weird at all.
It’s no more strange than life moving to different areas of the planet itself. We think of space as foreign and empty when ‘space’ just contains the other rooms in our house.
You think that one tests science? Gather ‘round and allow me to tell you the tale of the “scientists” who claimed that the vaccinated were in danger because some people chose not to take the vaccine that didn’t protect the vaccinated in the first place. The contorted logic in that story will melt your brain better than any time travel yarn.
As computing and gene sequence reading becomes cheaper, the mysteries of evolution will be read like a book. If there is any odd outside influence, it will become obvious. Notice there aren’t any cartographers anymore? Technology replaced them with satellites. Same with geneticists, there will soon be no need for them — just look at the computer results.
Octopus might be the strangest animal on earth.
They can change the texture and color of their skin at will. And because they have no bones, they can squeeze through any hole large enough for their eyeballs to pass through.
The motion of their arms is so complex, each arm has its own brain. Plus there’s a ninth brain for centralized control.
Their blood doesn’t use iron-based hemoglobin to carry oxygen, it uses copper-based hemocyanin, which makes their blood blue instead of red.
Despite the fact that parents play no role in their upbringing (=no teaching in infancy), despite the fact that most species only live for two years (the longest-lived only last for about four years), they demonstrate both problem-solving and tool use (but not tool creation).
If there’s an animal that deserves to be the descendant of space aliens, ... it’s the octopus.
Never go to bed after playing Space Invaders. The resulting dreams can affect your judgement.
“”Comets are the carriers and distributors of life in the cosmos, and life on Earth arose and developed as a result of cometary inputs.””
Even if that were true one is left with the question of where did the original life come from.
It’s more believable than this covid pandemic bullshit.
Sounds like somebody been watching that “Resident Alien” show on TV....
This is all about the profound problem that Darwin’s theory is having throughout academia. The theory is coming under sustained assault from intelligent design proponents. More fundamentally, the geneticists are saying there simply is not enough time for random mutation to account for the design of living things. Especially as complexity increases as you look more deeply into living things at smaller and smaller resolutions. Scientists have demonstrated immensely complicated biological factories at work at a tiny scale and at bottom there is the genes which are a language or a code. Scientists describe seeing the code as a bit like finding hieroglyphics on a ancient forgotten temple. Someone wrote the hieroglyphics.
This isn’t quite an abiogenesis thread. Life had already begun when these supposed frozen viruses showed up from the comets, redirecting evolution.
What most people don’t realize is how the evolution of the science behind abiogenesis has turned on its ear. Because the chances of life forming from non-life is so astronomically low that it falls below the threshold of mathematically impossible. So scientists have moved their research to this kind of thing where life came from somewhere else & deposited from comets or asteroids and this is just the beginning of such postulations.

THE TIME PROBLEM
The amoeba illustration used in Origin is adapted from the book Evolution: Possible or Impossible? by James F. Coppedge (ch. 6-7).d He constructed a fictional scenario to give readers a way to visualize the powerlessness of chance. In his memorable illustration, he set up a race between a world filled with amino acids and an amoeba .
To give protein formation (by chance) the best possible circumstances to succeed, Coppedge imagined the Earth stocked with sets of amino acids, using all the available atoms of nitrogen, carbon, and oxygen on the planet—for a total of 10^41 possible sets. Although no one knows the exact quantities of these atoms, the 10^41 sets of 20 different amino acids estimated for our experiment is a very generous total. e
We then calculated the self–assembly rate of 150-amino-acid chains at one chain per second. In the assumed 4.6-billion-year age of the earth, we could expect the construction of at least 1.45 x 10^58 chains. That is far short of the 10^164 chains that would have to self-assemble (on average) to expect one useful protein.
So, now we can ask, how long would you have to wait before the single lucky protein forms? The answer can be calculated by letting the experiment run as long as necessary to expect, on average, a successful chain to form.f Dividing the number of trials needed by the rate of formation yields a waiting time of 3.15 x 10^115 years. That’s far, far longer than the assumed age of the entire universe (13.7 x 10^9 years). In ORIGIN, we set out to visualize how much time would be involved.
Those aren’t octopuses...
They’re Space Squid!!!
😱😱😱
Well maybe not but Pelosi sure came from outer space!~
On radio today in Austin they were playing her little talk and Biden’s little talk, he thinks it is 2020...
The talk show hosts said we need to get the two of them together for a public talk! ha ha ha

The stories about octopuses being superintelligent are fraudulent lies spread by superintelligent octopi ...
They clearly evolved on a different path. Copper based blood? 8fold symmetry.
Different...
