Panspermia: Difference between revisions

''Panspermia'' ([[Accidental Innuendo|get your mind out of the gutter]]) is a scientific idea which proposes that life on Earth [[Pun|came]] to it from outer space, as aliens. This is a real, scientific theory, mind you. ([[That Other Wiki]], of course, [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panspermia |has plenty of information.]]) This isn't the "[[Little Green Men]]"-style of alien, either. We're talking more along the lines of "cosmic pond scum hitching a ride in some water vapor in a comet." In ''fiction,'' panspermia (or exogenesis, which is similar but not identical) tends to gravitate toward the former, though--that aliens of some kind were actually the origin for life on Earth, or some other planet.
