i did, it simply, like all other speculative theories simply places the emergence of life some place else and solves nothing.
If lithopanspermia is correct, it could mean the entire universe has a certain amount of life in it, or at least in our galaxy. And if it could happen anywhere in our galaxy there is a decent star and planet in the goldilocks zone, it could happen anywhere in the universe, all independent wellsprings of life.
So you are still free to believe a god waved its rhretorical hands and said let there be life, but not just on Earth.
RJ, I don't 'believe' in such a scenario, it is just evidence at this point. I don't disbelieve it either.
You are free to poo poo the whole thing since it is still in the realm of speculation.
100 years from now, it may not be just speculation so scoff while you can.

God is only partially explanable to our finite minds. God is infinite and that is beyond our understanding. Sorry, we can't put God in a box so you can examine Him like a lab rat.
