Just noting that it is more likely that life from Earth seeded other worlds in the solar system. Like the Martian meteorite, meteorites crashed off the Earth have made it to Mars or Titan or wherever.

There is also a class of bacteria, the smallest ones known, that can withstand 1,000s of times the radiation that any other living organism can withstand. The bacteria survives and slowly repairs its DNA. Scientists say that the radiation level they can withstand would never have existed on Earth so there would be no need to evolve this ability. That ability, however, would come in handy on a rock in deep space.

Sorry. I'm one of those "Holy Rollers"... I believe in a God able to do anything He wants...

I had one instructor illustrate the odds against evolutionary beginnings. He took an old pocketwatch, and placed it into a cloth bag. He then smashed it several times with a hammer, until you could hear the parts jinging. He then shook it, and shook it, after which he made the following statement:

"the opportinity for evolution is just as likely for this watch to come out of the bag whole!"

In my humble studies, I have found nothing to convince me of the origins of man, having come about by accident. OTOH, I don't really need to find another one.

I hope you find the Peace of God...
