The seeds of life, actual living creatures and their DNA, flow throughout the cosmos and have taken root on innumerable worlds much older than our own.

I haven't made it through the entire video yet but it's pretty interesting so far. The idea of panspermia, that life on Earth arrived here from elsewhere, isn't new and hasn't been a personal favorite of mine. I feel it just puts off the ultimate question, of how life began from non-life. This idea can be tested if and when we are able to test life found on other bodies besides Earth.

I don't think much of the idea that life has been programed with an end result of us. The history of life, on Earth, seems to indicate that mammals aren't particularly special. I could easily imagine an Earth where it wasn't mammals aren't at the 'top' like they seem to be today, (there is quite a strong argument that Bacteria have never given up this top spot). There doesn't seem to be any reason why birds, dinos, mollusks or heck even insects could develop our 'superior' intelligence and under a different set of circumstances come to rule the world.-

The Dinosaurs did rule the World.

It was a long long time ago.
They kept getting smaller and smarter.
So, maybe the iridium layer is there cause they killed each other off?
We do not know.
I kinda have this strange vision of sleestak with nukes.
The Death of the Dinosaurs sounds a lot like we would die if we had a Nuclear War.

It seems this video isn't familiar with basic Mendelian genetics when it comes to passing on new genes or mutations. Instead it makes the false claim that such mutations would have to arise in both a female and male to be passed on.

The video makes the claim that the human brain somehow goes against Darwin, but then say's nothing to support anything other than evolution accounting for the human brain.
Then at the very end, it proclaims the death of Darwinism. ? I guess I missed the supporting evidence for that too.
Lots of bright lights, interesting clips, but little substance. -

The title of this sounds very Mormon. Mormons believe they are worshipping God, but, God, in Mormonism, was once a man. Ultimately, in Mormonism, there is no God, just highly evolved beings really good at reading minds of billions of people, seeding life on planets for the creation of more gods. By the way, science fiction is very popular in Mormonism. I can see why.

Kind of reminds me of a couple of books. "The Seedling Stars" where evolution is driven by the Cosmic Gods as a sort of Gardening experiment ( the Gods boost the best performers ) and the other book is "Human Destiny" a sort of Scientific look at why evolution cannot be occurring as taught ( Change is guided by an external force ).

The two books kind of support one another in a way. I'm sure the authors weren't aware of each other, possibly one thought of himself as a Scientist interested in the human experience and the other thought of himself as a good story teller.
Both books are interesting.
By the way, Carl Sagan finally came off his strictly anti-creationist position to support life migrating to Earth from the cosmos. Called it the P factor I think.
So it looks like none of the three thinks the other two know anything but they all agree somewhat.-

I am not so sure I buy into everything presented in the video but we really don't know the answers to a lot of the questions we ask.
Reply
I think it's possible that parts of all three could be true in the final analysis.
They might all be completely wrong and we will find the actual truth someday.
The important thing is that we are asking the question.

Bacterial spores can survive space vacuum, absolute Zero temps, and extreme heat, which would suggest they could hitch a ride on asteroids and re-entry to seed a planet, but that is not necessary to start life on a planet as swampy as earth, RNA has been shown in a million experiments to self assemble given the conditions on earth and billions of years.

People fail to understand a billion years. Contemplate that, a freaking billion years, and after that, multiply by 4.6.-

The video starts out by claiming no beginning or ending. It assumes an infinity of time in both directions. Evolutionists have over the years kept making the number of years larger and larger. They can't make it larger any more since we know when the date for the explosion took place by the expansion of the universe.Since the universe is expanding how did this matter make it to the different star systems. Nuttiness when real science is looked at.

I believe there is life in some form through out the universe. To think that this, minor planet in this unremarkable galaxy among the other billions of galaxies in the known universe, is the only planet with life on it, just makes no sense.

I well remember the tree top monkeys but had forgotten which book it was. I used to read SC like if I didn't read everything I could touch, it would be lost forever.

I just looked into a book collection of short stories I have here at home: many by Arthur C. Clarke and Heinlein. While looking at the contents, I noticed "Mimsy were the Borogoves" by Lewis Padgett and that reminded me of a movie I saw recently "The Last Mimzy" which is a somewhat repeat of Padgett's short story.
The thing is, humankind is curious. And this is good. -

Alakazam. It is a good movie, but strays quite a bit from the original story. It does keep the main theme, the salvation of a future race of humankind.

It is a favorite of mine, don't know where I would place it.
I guess my favorite would be "The Illustrated Man" , you might remember the movie, Rod Stiger was the Illustrated man. IN this this book of several tales, my favorite was the cult that had received word that life was going to end the next day and to spare the children the horrific end, the parents poisoned all their children the night before the end. Then they lay down to face the next days end time. But their Religious leader was wrong, the world didn't end, except for the children. That short story illustrated to me the horrors of placing all faith in one person, especially when that person, begins to believe that he has all the answers and knowledge. -
