Origin of Life and Panspermia

2012 
Arguments are presented to support the view that the origin of life and the origin of the universe are inextricably linked. A single origin of life occurring in a primordial cometary-type body may be amplified and conveyed throughout the expanding universe in comets via the processes of panspermia. Comets serve as transporters and incubators of microbial life. The PAH signatures in interstellar material within our galaxy and in external galaxies plausibly represent the detritus of life – not prebiology as it is currently believed.
