Question

1) Panspermia is a hypothesis that states that life on Earth may have been purposefully or accidentally seeded by life from other planets. Which piece of evidence below would support this theory? Select ALL that apply.
A) The presence of intense heat on other distant planets
B) The presence of carbon-based molecules on meteors that strike Earth's surface
The fact that extremophilic bacteria can grow in harsh conditions even on Earth
D) The fact that photosynthesis is driven by solar energy and there are more stars across the galaxy
E) The fact that some spores from fungi or endospores from bacteria can lay formant for long periods of time

Answer 1

One of the events that could give credence to the panspermia hypothesis would be the presence of carbon-based molecules on meteors that strike the earth's surface.

Evidence of extraterrestrial lives

All biomolecules of life are carbon-based.  Examples of these molecules include carbohydrates, proteins, ribonucleic acids, etc.

In order for life to exist in a place, carbon must be abundant.

Thus, the presence of carbon-based molecules on meteors from another planet that hit the surface of the earth may be evidence that life exists on another planet.

This can be used as evidence that life on earth came from extraterrestrial sources.
