This is the strongest evidence yet of cometary panspermia ? that life on Earth began when a meteorite containing simple organisms landed here, billions of years ago ? and, perhaps more importantly, that there?s life elsewhere in the universe.

I am leaning more this way more and more. The evidence seems to fit. Of course, the evidence needs to be verified by other researchers.

I tend to think money is the biggest scam as we seem to spend our whole lives building it up only to die and not being able to take it with us and some how the lack of it stops us from bettering ourselves.

couldn't say better.

Let's try and leave the religious discussion at the door, shall we? This is about science, there's no need to bring up religion just with the intention of bashing it.

I would have loved for this to be true, but I guess we'll have to keep waiting.

Wait till an alien lands on this planet and we all see it to prove existence of extraterrestrial life.

It may well not be true but this writer seems to be on a crusade against this Chandra Wickramasinghe.
