Panspermia is an example of the logical dead-end of evolution.
If life evolved, which is highly probable, how did it begin?
And if an Intelligent Designer, a God, was involved in creating the first life, why would this entity be somehow limited in the ability to extend life forms?
Panspermia posits that life came from somewhere else. Great.
Evolutionists are too close-minded to understand that they are just discussing the equivalent of programming, and ID'ers are discussing both the construction of a computer and the design of its communication languages.

"Panspermia is an example of the logical dead-end of evolution."
It's not even part of evolutionary theory.
"If life evolved, which is highly probable, how did it begin?"
We don't know, and evolutionary biology is not affected either way.
"And if an Intelligent Designer, a God, was involved in creating the first life, why would this entity be somehow limited in the ability to extend life forms?"
There is nothing this alleged entity couldn't do. None of it's alleged actions are either observable or testable. It's an empty claim, heuristically speaking.
"Panspermia posits that life came from somewhere else. Great."
And the vast majority of abiogenesis researchers don't accept it.
"Evolutionists are too close-minded to understand that they are just discussing the equivalent of programming, and ID'ers are discussing both the construction of a computer and the design of its communication languages."
ID'ers aren't talking about anything. They posit an unknowable, untestable designer doing unknowable, unobservable, untestable things in untestable, unobservable ways. Saying *Xenu did it!* has just as much explanatory power.
