Chandra Wickramasinghe: Life Will Find a Way
More on the mechanics and implications of Panspermia, the idea that
life originated out there and is seeded throughout the universe.
Chandra Wickramasinghe
discusses how panspermia answers the limitations to and supports aspects
of Darwinian natural selection, and why the Big Bang is not the only solution
to the observations said to support it. We also talk about why this idea is so
important today on many levels. Renowned astronomers Fred Hoyle and Chandra
Wickramasinghe are panspermia's leading proponents.

Microbes from Outer Space
Laura Lee speaks with renowned astronomer
Dr. Chandra Wickramasinghe
and Barry DiGregorio about Microbes
from Outer Space in a special two-part series.
Renowned astronomers Dr. Wickramasinghe and Sir Fred Hoyle theorize that influenza
epidemics may originate with microbes from outer space. How do they get to Earth? On the
tails of passing comets and meteors. Barry DiGregorio, head of ICAMSR, the
International Committee Against the Mars Sample Return, says NASA's plan to bring rock
samples back from Mars is an unwise invitation for further ET microbial contamination of
Earth. Links and more information at: http://www.lauralee.com/DiGreg.htm
