Rob,
       You are certainly entitled to your own view----as I am.
No reason for you to be curt though----as you say.
Have a nice day!
Kirk.......

That is not what Mark said and to imply that he did is insulting of the
intelligence of anyone with a reasonable grasp of scientific method.
You are entitled to believe what you like but remember that it really is
just a belief.

If you are going to insist on panspermia being anything other than another
crackpot idea dreamed up by people who prefer conspiracy because the
alternatives is unpalatable to them then show me the evidence.
Not the junk you find on youtube posted by idiots, proper evidence, peer
reviewed in reputable journals with scientifically reproducible results.

Mark stated (quite clearly, I thought) that all life on earth gan be
genetically linked to earth and it seems far more likely that it began here
where conditions are ideal than it being delivered here by something else.

I am not sorry about the curt nature of this response. I grow weary of a
discussion that has people on one side unwilling to accept science, its
methods and its process.
Believe what you will. Nothing I could say would make you change your
viewpoint. This sort of idea always seems to possess immense inertia.
