I have never heard of the 'pan-spermia' creation theory before

Under the "pan-spermia" idea, comets pounded the early Earth billions of years ago, bringing organic molecules that reacted with the Sun's light and heat, creating a rich chemical soup within which life began.

The theory, which was initially slammed as "outlandish" by some scientists, is slowly gaining ground.

I can only assume a guy came up with the name.

Sounds like something that happens to rookies in Junior Hockey.

OMG I know "foating" isn't a word, but it really, really needs to be.

I really thought this would be an Anthony Easton thread.
