Just as you have evolved from an infant, to a child, to a teenager, to an adult, so too, did life evolve upon the earth, according to which was most fit to survive.

I question this hypothosis....I've never heard or studied where one animal made another animal go extinct...

I think all life forms are 'fit' to live...

The only time I hear about animals going extinct, is when man is entered into the picture, and wipes them out do to poaching or over hunting....

Remove man from the picture...and could you show me where one species made another species go extinct?

It took guts for you to say 'we don't know'....

Do you know how powerful that is?

Maybe out there amongst those stars and chemical reactions which you hold hope that 'other life exists'....

Just a question....

Scientists say it all the time. We are trained to never give absolutes unless we are 1000% sure of anything.

Can't prove a negative.

Right next to your evidence that leprechauns don't exist.

Right next to your evidence that tyrannosaurs don't exist.

I love this topic. Every time I read the opening line I can't stop laughing.

I think the Creation Museum is offering a PhD program.

The theory of Panspermia is becoming more accepted as the evidence accumulates.

Panspermia, though, does not explain how life came to be either on Earth or on other planets (Mars in this particular case). If life was in space or on other planets before it came to earth, that still does not tell us how life began at all.

It is a theory regarding life's beginnings on earth, it doesn't necessarily mean that life has spread from other planets. Perhaps organic compounds (amino acids, etc.) are natural and have always been in space.
