Originally a brief "heads up" article I sent to my mailing list,
now a fairly exhaustive overview of panspermia as gaining popular belief
As the theory of evolution loses ground among
academics, the theory rising to replace it is called "Panspermia" - the idea
that life on earth has it's origins in outer space (see a dictionary definition here). While
differing ufo cults claim "their
race" as our designers (and in effect gods), others among the scientific community
have been saying that life was seeded by extra-terrestrial microbes. Here's just one
current article I came across from one of the UK's top internet media sources, which
states
"We don't know where life began, but a kilometer or
two below the surface of Mars seems a good place. How, then, did life get from Mars to
Earth? The answer is straightforward. The same asteroid impacts that made early life so
hazardous also served to splatter vast quantities of Martian rock around the solar system.
A fraction of this hits Earth; indeed, it does so today. So far, a couple of dozen
meteorites have been found that can be traced back to Mars. If there was life on Mars,
then it is possible that some Martian microbes will have hitched a ride inside the ejected
rocks and made their way to Earth. " http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0%2C3604%2C822088%2C00.html
Just hoping I could grab the name for apologetics purposes,
I checked out www.panspermia.com
- I was 6 years too late. Here's a quick one from their FAQ
Q. So how did life on Earth originate then, according to
Cosmic Ancestry?
A. Life
on Earth originated when bacterial spores arrived here from space.
By the way, if you've never seen it - or especially if you let
your kids watch it without you being around - the plot of the (suspiciously) G-Rated movie
"Mission to Mars" ends with the astronauts discovering that Martians seeded
earth with all life, before their planet was destroyed and they took off. While the church
reads Grant Jeffrey, Michael Drosnin - author of the original book The Bible Code - ends
his thesis with the idea that the Bible is so advanced mathematically that it could not
have been the product of primitive man, so it had to be written by an alien intelligence.
(Validity of the bible codes aside, millions have bought this book.) Of course tv's The
X-Files has played the "God is an alien" theme time and time again.

"Children
in Ohio may be taught
life was created by aliens
under
an education package designed to ditch
Darwin's Theory of evolution. The US state is
considering adopting the "intelligent design"
theory that life is too complex to have simply
evolved - as the Darwin Theory suggests.
Therefore says the package, life must have
been designed by some supernatural being,
maybe God, maybe aliens.
It's suporters say
evolution leaves too many
questions unanswered. Opponents claim
intelligent design is a repackaged
version of creationism, which was struck
down by courts decades ago."

So what does it tell you that a word most have never heard
of already has a .com, .net and .org attached to it? Sounds whacky I know, but mark my
words - if you have school aged children now, panspermia will be in your grandchildren's
college textbooks as "a" if not "the" most plausible expalanation for
our beginnings. The Biblical worldview got pasted with a major uppercut to the chin in
Darwinism. To the eyes of the world the Church is still dizzy and reeling intellectually,
although the "theory of evolution" is simply invalid 1000 times over. For those
who wish to prepare themselves, their churches, their children, etc - I'm here to tell
you, it's a one-two punch. While we're still clearing our heads and putting all our effort
into defending ourselves from evolution, Panspermia is the coming right hook meant to
knock us out.

The Raelian Religion
See also our page on UFO Cults and the article Deceiving the Elect
Probably the largest and most influential of all UFO "groups," they boast
55,000 members in 80 countries. Their primary doctrine is that all life on earth was
created as a DNA expiriment by "The Raelians." This revelation was given to
their founder, when he was taken aboard a UFO and told that he (and Moses, Mohammed,
Buddha, Jesus) was the product of a hybrid union between a Raelian and an earth woman, and
that he was to start a new religion procaliming their message, as their final prophet.
They use the Bible extensively to make their claims, and say that cloning is the secret to
eternal life. Their site is www.rael.org
and their primary doctrinal book - The True Face of
God is available on Amazon. (Linked for apologetics research, not as
an endorsement. See also We
Are The Nibiruans by Jelaila Starr - "ambassador from the 12th planet,
Nibiru" - for another group with similar claims, and The Urantia Book,
as well as the below.)
...from an article - Close Encounters of the
Raelian Kind
"Faulkner adds that the Raelians, who claim to have more than 50, 000 members
worldwide, are not the first religious movement to suggest alien origins. He explains that
Scientology believes
that human beings were gods that got bored with existence. "The Scientologists say we
have forgotten our otherworldly origins," he says. "The task is now to remember
to be omnipotent gods again." http://novanewsnet.ukings.ns.ca/stories/01-02/020215/raelians.htm
Worth noting in this context, Mormon
/ LDS doctrine states that God (the Father) was a normal man on another planet
eons ago, who evolved to become our God. Likewise, good (male) Mormons are promised their
own planet, one day. They also believe that angels currently travel to earth from
differing planets, and that Mormonism is the predominant religion throughout certain
galaxies. These unique doctrines should technically qualify them as the first organized
religion to express at least a "passive faith" in both ETs and Panspermia, as
life on other planets and the creation of humans by an "alien God" is assumed by
their most fundamental doctrines.
Scientology
- the "Dianetics" religion founded by L. Ron Hubbard - is also based on his
belief in extra-terrestrials.

Modern Authors
The idea of Panspermia is given a slightly different twist by modern authors Erich
von Daniken and Zechariah Sitchin, both of whom's books have sold in the double-digit
millions. Their ideas are that ancient archeology and texts prove that primitive man had
our DNA "tweaked" by races from the stars, resulting in homo sapiens, and that
most ancient marvels (such as the Pyramids of Egypt) can be attributed to their
intervention. For an amazingly comprehensive and sound scholarly rebuttal to the
claims of Zechariah Sitchin (author of The
12th Planet and Genesis
Revisited) visit Mike Heiser's ZS page http://www.facadenovel.com/sitchinerrors.htm
; Von Daniken's work Chariots of The Gods is challenged by J
Timothy Unruh's work. (For an amazing Biblical view of the perhaps God-ly
origin of the Pyramids, try out The
Great Pyramid : Prophecy in Stone)

Star Trek The Next Generation (TM) Episode, "The Chase" -
details the common origin of popular species from the show, including humans. An extinct
race had created all races from their seed, leaving a message: "... Our
scientists seeded the primordial oceans of many worlds, where life was in its infancy. The
seed codes directed your evolution toward a physical form resembling ours ... There is
something of us in each of you, and so, something of you in each other."
Read extended
synopsis to "The Chase."
Star Trek Voyager (TM) also aired an episode where they met a
"Reptillian" race with almost identical DNA to to humans, that had "split
off" from the human evolutionary tree, and left earth for the stars.
The X-Files (TM) "God is an alien"
theme tongue-in-cheekily overviewed by Mac Slocum's excellent review of the episode
"Biogenesis" / Much of this episode's relevant dialogue (suggesting
aliens created life on earth, and wrote the Bible) is presented here . The
entire X-Files series' "mythology arc" detailing man's alien origins is expertly
summarized by The Ultimate X-Files Information Complex
page titled "Genesis"
The idea catches on... Individuals

I have talked to
Gods "I have been in contact with the Gods, the Nephilim. They have
instructed me to start a new religion. These beings, the Gods, are the owners of the
flying saucers. They have told me that the world as you know it will soon end..."

"They had come to the planet Earth to escape their enemy. The creatures then showed
me how they had created life on the planet in order to hide within the multitudinous forms
and thus disguise their presence."
Discussion
Board - Aliens created man as we know it "This coupled with such obvious
UFO imagery throughout the bible..makes it all too clear that our physical appearance, and
our religions, were given to us by a more advanced species from beyond this solar
system."
Aliens May
Have Created the Universe Professor Edward Harrison U. of Massachusetts
Created
by aliens? "The alien stated that they were only visiting and checking
up on the human race because we are basically alien offspring (experiment wise) so
basically we were created as an experiment by aliens." (Note - background and text

Montalk
"The human race was a result of drastic genetic engineering by a coalition
of several alien species several hundred thousand years ago ... Considering it was
aliens who created humans, these aliens must have had some reason to profit from the task
... a new creature was devised with unbelievable potential for experience and wisdom,
created from old genetic stock already on earth ... This creature was homo sapiens, a
new body for the older alien souls... But just as there were varied alien species and
races, there are different human races since each alien species created its own version of
the human."
Roswell
(NM) Daily Record Page 1 Article on lecture "Who are our real
ancestors?” ... Farley's detailed answer is that we were planted on earth by
extraterrestrial “star-seeders.” ...According to Farley’s intricate and
complex theory of intergalactic relations, the Earth has served as a sort of proving
ground whereby a consortium of alien races, “The Twenty-four,” have attempted to
combine their various species into one descendant race. (Lecture held July 2000 at The Int'l UFO Museum, as part of
Roswell's annual UFO Festival.

Note - No ridicule is
intended by ANY of the above links, and I do not begrudge anybody's right to their
individual beliefs, nor deny their experiences as genuine. They are listed however in the
context of "critical review." By examining these groups and individual accounts
comparitively, one sees how the specifics of such encounters and dogmas so often vary in
the origins (physical location or planet), messages and motives of the "beings,"
who otherwise ALL lead the hearer to believe they are mankind's creator(s).
The apparent conclusion is that
panspermia is being indoctrinated into mankind's worldview on a wide variety of fronts -
psuedo-science, "new religions," popular media and personal encounters (which
collectively brings 1 Timothy 4:1 to mind).

Rebuttal to panspermia, excerpted
from the History of Evolutionary Theory
"At the heart of it, all these life-spores-from-out-of-space
theories are based on the impossibility of life forming by chance on earth. Men have
recognized and accepted the fact, and then tried to bring the life from somewhere else. All
they are doing is pushing the problem back a notch, but they are not solving it...
Here are a few statements on the matter that will reveal, first, the fantastic
notions involved in this theory and, second, the utter impossibility of it
occurring..."

"For the
time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine.
Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a
great number of teachers to hear what their itching ears want to hear.
They will turn their ears away from truth and will turn aside to myths."
