It is not clear what your question is asking but I suspect that it is about panspermia.

What is panspermia?

It is the hypothesis that life on Earth originated from microorganisms from outer space.


Is there life in asteroids?

Maybe, some scientists have suggested that life has once formed on Mars, then an impact flew ejecta (with microbes inside) into space. The ejecta then impacted Earth and started life here. This theory is called panspermia.


Who discovered cosmozoic theory of evolution?

It is also called panspermia theory,given by Richter in 1865.acording to him life on earth came from a distint planet in the form of spores or micro-organisms.It was preserved inside meteorites.These meteorites struck the barren earth to release the cosmozoa and helped in development of various creatures.But it faild to explain the origin of life on those distant planets.


What important element of evidence or observation did Darwin's theory of evolution lack?

A mechanism of heredity. Darwin's concept, panspermia, was based on a blending of factors he called gremules that originated with either sex and were in the blood. This was shown to be completely wrong by Mendel's work on particulate inheritance.


Was genetic basis for variations included in Darwins theory of evolution?

No. Darwin had no idea of what a gene was and did not even know that inheritance is particulate. He held with a " blending " idea called panspermia that was totally incorrect. Mendel, by mathematical analysis, found that heritability was based on the particulate " factor. " Today we call these " factors " genes.


Describe how scientists think that life could have been formed on earth millions of years ago?

one theory is panspermia - scientists think a comet carrying ammino acids that needed a catalyst "eg heat or water" hit the earth's sea and caused a chain reaction in the proteins which turned the ammino acids into a few single celled organsims. from that, life evolved. but this is only 1 theory. there are a few others


What is the religious belief that alien's created us and never came back?

There is no particular religious belief that just generically claims that absentee aliens created us. However, there is a concept known as "panspermia", which is a scientific theory (or hypothesis, depending on one's sources) as opposed to a religious belief. The theory basically proposes that life did not originate on Earth but rather came here in the form of microorganisms or chemical life-precursors from somewhere outside the earth. Naturally, as this is a scientific theory, it is open to falsification and evidentiary support. So far it hasn't been falsified, but the support for it is not conclusive either. It remains a theory of dubious utility until more supporting evidence can be found.


What are the similarities and differences between Darwinism NeoDarwinism PunctuatedEquilibrium Panspermia and IntelligentDesign?

Neo-Darwinism is an elaboration on Darwinism, a synthesis between modern genetics and classical Darwinism. Punctuated equilibrium is a model of Darwinism in which the rate of divergence is highly variable, as opposed to a gradualistic model of Darwinism. Panspermia is a model for the origin of life, specifically how life could have originated off-planet and then transported here. Intelligent Design is a religious view. So really, you're listing three entirely different things here (Evolution, Origin-of-Life, Religion).


What is the relationship between political and history?

history included the making of the earth. which can include religions beliefs and things like that. political science also includes the making of the earth, but in a more scientific way, like the big bang and panspermia.


Scientists believe life originated in an aquatic environment What evidence is there for this?

Probably the strongest answer for this, that scientists can so far give as a perfect example of why this theory is so valid and believed, is because or Miller a Urey's experiment. These men were both scientists throughout the 1950's and they investigated the theory put forth by John Haldane that, life originated in an aquatic environment full of inorganic compounds, and when struck by high amounts of energy(lightning) this produced organic compounds, the first basic building blocks of life. They tested this by creating the environment that Haldane explained and passing a spark of electricity throughout it. though their experiment tested negatively they led the way and it was proved that organic compound could be created with these conditions. Hence why it is now one of the many accepted theories of how life originated. You should also look up the Panspermia theory of life the other most scientifically relevant theory.
