Right now I believe most scientist consider comet seeding possible.  http://www.panspermia.org/comets.htm I don't expect you to read the whole thing but if you scroll down to the middle sized objects part it talks about a few examples (mainly one that fell near Murchison, Victoria, Australia). 

Everything is speculation consider we still know very little of our Universe.  It seems even more questions arise with every little thing we do discover.   I just wanted to discuss the Universe, life, etc... and I thought this might be the best way to get people involved. I could have just made a Space Thread or Universe Thread but that would have probably bored everyone before they even opened the thread. 


Wow, interesting link indeed. Had no idea there was so many indications of actual comet seeding taking place. I'll read more of it later when I'm not eating cereal.

As for that last part, that's fully understandable :P

I'm also one of the people who watched lots of Ancient Aliens recently

To the bolded part in the OP.

Bacteria most probably dont evolve on comets. Scientists are talking about the building blocks of life (aminoacids) not whole finished bacteria but organic compounds.

@deadnotsleeping

The whole thing with arsenic instead of phosphorus using bacteria is fact. This was discovered by nasa scientists last year I think. And ofcourse proven.

Okay, I'll change it to amino acids or bacteria.  Bacteria is thought to be able to survive / even thrive on comets though.  I personally have a fondness for the bacteria on comets.

@sethnintendo

Yes bacteria can survive on comets maybe even wake up once the comet approaches the sun. But its very improbable that they can evolve on them. For life to evolve there must be some kind of solvent (water) which is either frozen on comets or gaseous.

On one hand, all the basic ingredients for life would have been available on earth, and many scientists have been able to reproduce some of the conditions that would be neccesary for the spontaneous creation of amino acids. Also, if life did begin at some extraterrestrial location, how did it begin there, and why, in an infinite universe, would those conditions not exist in another place? If seeding does occur, it is still likely that life began more then once and in several different locations.

On the other hand, OMFG, LAVOS!!!!!!!

So you want to know where life began huh??  I was pondering this same question especially after viewing your post.  I was about to lay down and go to sleep when it just popped into my head.  The answer for where life began.  I was mainly thinking about my comet remark in the op (Comets are like God's sperm that float around fertilizing eggs (other planets).  It was from this train of thought that it all became so clear.

The existence of life happened from the big bang.  You might have heard about the big bang theory but that isn't the correct theory.  My Big Bang Theory goes like this...

God had sex with a black hole until he finally reached his ultimate climax.  So there you have it...   All life came from God's penis and comets are just his leftover sperm floating around.  Now, the big question is who does that black hole belong to?

anyway, while it is possible that planets may share similar bacterial roots, the slightest difference in temperature, radiation mix from the sun, rotation of the home planet, etc etc could produce rapidly different life forms. Even if all planets have an end-game of sentient life, it would still look and live radically different time and again


Let us think of it as in the terms of dogs.  You know we inbreed a shitload of dogs (I don't think it is right).  Let us say humans died off tomorrow.  What dog would survive?  Would the small piece of shit dogs survive?  No..  Now let us think of what the dog would turn into after humans are taken out of the equation. We already have this evidence from roaming packs of wild dogs.  They pretty much turn into a wolf. 

Now let us use this information for this topic.  Even if life did end up different perhaps space travel would just turn every race of alien into grey, small body, big head aliens.

You have to figure by the time you develop interstellar travel, you'll have figured out how to prevent the effects of space travel from altering your evolution (or at least beyond where humans have altered revolution currently with leisure life and whatnot)
