This is from comet to planet, I'm still holding out that you can cross-contaminate from planet to planet. Still an interesting theory

[AFPhys]

Important research.

This theory was promoted about a century ago by Arrhenius. Although it obviates stewing about the origin of life on earth, it really begs the question as it brings about the question, How did life originate on planet X

I wonder how much money and years of education it took, to realize that life can't nakedly withstand deep space?

Yet, that won't stop those who would debunk revealed truth.

“It’s almost an impossibility for comets to seed other planets with life after they’ve been in space for millions of years,” Falkowski said.

but perhaps it is possible for comets to seed other planets with life after they’ve been in space for thousands of years.

I'm still holding out that you can cross-contaminate from planet to planet.

If so, there should be significant evidence on Mars and Venus that would support that theory.

Life is amazingly tenacious so it’s really hard to say that it can’t happen.

"It's almost an impossibility for comets to seed other planets with life after they've been in space for millions of years," Falkowski said.

Thought so.

[pacelvi]

I knew the Bible was right!

[I see my hands]

"It's almost an impossibility "

Good news. Then all you need is time and it will happen.

What difference would it make?

Their conclusions are inconsistent with the other information in the article. The article states that some of the microbes produced organisms when placed in a liquid medium. A study of microbes from frozen areas cannot confirm or refute theories about whether DNA could travel in comets through space because conditions aren’t comparable. In particular, such a study can tell nothing about whether cosmic radiation could penetrate the icy covering of comets or be reflected by it.
