Dogmatic Evolution is a Religion

Q. Isn't life as likely to have started here on Earth as anywhere else?
A. Yes. But that likelihood is still effectively zero.

I'd say its more likely here than anywhere else, if I get to pick my anywhere.

Your posting behavior is consistent with having a closed mind.

Did you read any part of the web site whatsoever?

Are you a Evolution fundamentalist?

Modern panspermia proposes comets as the delivery vehicles. Comets can protect cells from UV and cosmic radiation damage; and comets can drop cells high in the atmosphere to float gently down. If bacterial spores can be immortal, as it appears, comets could spread life throughout a galaxy.

3. Strong Panspermia
So far we have been talking about only the origin of life on Earth or on any given planet. Strong panspermia extends modern panspermia to deal with evolution as well. In strong panspermia, the genes for evolutionary advances are not written by copying mistakes and reshuffling within an original set of bacterial genes. Instead they are installed by gene transfer. If these genes are spread by infectious agents such as viruses, they can transform whole populations in a single generation. The importance of gene transfer in evolution has gradually become recognized within mainstream biology. For example, a study that appeared in Nature (5) in May 2000, reported:

"It is difficult to account for the ability of bacteria to exploit new environments by the accumulation of point mutations alone. In fact, none of the phenotypic traits that are typically used to distinguish the enteric bacteria Escherichia coli from its pathogenic sister species Salmonella enterica can be attributed to the point mutational evolution of genes common to both. Instead, there is growing evidence that lateral gene transfer has played an integral role in the evolution of bacterial genomes, and in the diversification and speciation of the enterics and other bacteria."

Its probably consistent with a whole bunch of theories, close-mindedness being simply one of them. I guess you will have to await more evidence before coming to your conclusion.

And no I didn't read any of your website. I also didn't criticize it in any way, so you might want to actually wait for attacks before you need defend against them.

There is no such thing as Dogmatic Evolution. You are obviously trolling.

I really liked Mission to Mars; I don't care what anybody says! It was a good movie and Gary Sinese did a great job!!!
