Remember what Dr. Crick did years after he won the Noble Prize for his co-discovery of DNA? He theorized that life on earth came from aliens via rocket ships...the theory of directed panspermia.

BTW, just what naturalistic process produced all that genetic information?

"Remember what Dr. Crick did years after he won the Noble Prize for his co-discovery of DNA? He theorized that life on earth came from aliens via rocket ships...the theory of directed panspermia. "

Dr. Crick co-discovered the structure of DNA. Science already knew about DNA, just not its structure.

Dr. Crick was being somewhat flippant and somewhat speculative when he made that statement. He did not seriously consider it to be true. He certainly did not develop it into a theory. BTW panspermia has been considered for a long time.

Imperfect chemical self replication, with natural selection. No need for all that 'genetic information' at the start.
