In Fred Hoyle's book on panspermia, one of the pieces of evidence he adduces is that we have turned down noses. Why? So that the space germs we are being constantly bombarded with won't go up our noses.

Tell me this isn't funny. Actually, if you haven't read it, this book is chock-a-block with entertaining evidence, some of which isn't laughably dismissable, but most of which is.

"Our Place in the Cosmos: The Unfinished Revolution" by Fred Hoyle and Chandra Wickramasinghe

Thanks for the heads up. Sounds like there are gold nuggets in "them thar hills", but one has to move alot of earth to get at it. I will take the time to acquire and read it.

Ever since I became acquainted with the panspermia debate, the first thing that came to mind is that in olden times the appearances of comets were consider harbingers of plague. A conincidence, perhaps, but not so easily dismissed now as superstition.
