"To consider the Earth as the only populated world in infinite space is as absurd as to assert that in an entire field of millet, only one grain will grow." -- Metrodorus, 4th c BC Greek philosopher
"Heaven and earth are large, yet in the whole of space they are but as a small grain of rice. How unreasonable it would be to suppose that, besides the heaven and earth which we can see, there are no other heavens and no other earths." -- Teng Mu, 13th c AD Chinese philosopher
Francis Crick, co-discover of DNA, realized that it couldn’t have “just happened” as it is so complex. So he came to believe in “pan sperma”. That aliens put the code of life into DNA and shot it out into space, wishing that it would land somewhere and be fruitful. Of course, I’m not sure how the aliens got life.
And many years ago it was discovered that DNA has a “shadow DNA” - so twice as much information as Crick thought.
That’s only 10^24. You need to keep running the trillions for a while to get into the numbers it would take for random spontaneous life. May I also suggest using an infinite multiverse generating machine?
And we may discover that Algore was right - but I doubt it...
Good post.
The elites let the truth out slowly.
“They” are here....
“You need to keep running the trillions for a while to get into the numbers it would take for random spontaneous life. “
I never suggested random, spontaneous life.
Aliens might already be here, but I don’t think so. The problem with pan sperma is that it doesn’t solve the riddle of how life got started - it just pushes it off to another planet. Or perhaps another dimension?
If Crick believes that DNA was engineered by aliens, I believe that it was engineered by God. To those that believe in neither, both ideas are far-fetched!
