  Theory of Interstellar or Interplanetary Panspermia or Cosmic Seeding Even though the Theory of Interstellar or Interplanetary Panspermia or Cosmic Seeding has its origin in Greek philosophy and is based on the hypothesis that life on Earth comes from Outer Space, either through contact with extraterrestrial material such as comets or meteorites that they would transport the seeds of life by way of cosmic seeding from the primitive oceans or by intelligently directed seeding by an extraterrestrial civilization. Over the years, he adapted to biology, chemistry and other sciences. Etymologically the word Paspermia, comes from the Greek, since it is the result of the sum of two components of that language: • The noun pan ( πᾶν  =, which can be translated as everything. • The word sperma (,  σπέρμα ) that is treduced as a seed. There are two hypotheses of how Paspermia would be performed: Natural Panspermia Hypothesis This hypothesis proposes that living organisms would hav...

Among the different theories, on the one hand, are those that explain the origin of life on Earth as a result of divine creation. On the other hand, there are those who say that life was born from a soup in the primitive terrestrial oceans, where something as complex and extraordinary as life was formed from atoms that made up inert matter. A self-sustaining chemical system capable of undergoing Darwinian evolution. Throughout history, human beings have answered this question from various fields: Among them we can find in the Greek philosopher Anaxagoras some considerations, which although far from the modern vision of Panspermia, refer to the arrival of microscopic material on Earth from outer space. Later we find those who wonder: How is it possible that something so complex arises from inert matter in that period of time? And their answer is ...
