Richard Dawkins says aliens from outer space "seeded" life on earth; the "religion" of atheism has a far-fetched story about the origins of life.
I believe it is Crick of Watson and Crick, DNA fame........
Dr. Crick does not endorse miracles or even the slightest belief in God as he declares in no uncertain terms in chapter fifteen of his bookLife Itself. This co-discoverer of DNA instead puts forth what he considers to be a more plausible theory for the origin of life and man. Crick explains,
Directed Panspermia - postulates that the roots of our form of life go back to another place in the universe, almost certainly another planet; that it had reached a very advanced form there before anything much had started here; and thatlife here was seeded by microorganisms sent on some form of spaceship by an advanced civilization.Crick, Francis 'Life Itself: Its Origin and Nature', Simon and Schuster, New York, NY, 1981 p.141
According to Crick, this is the only alternative that satisfactorily explains what Darwinism and punctuated equilibria do not - this planet's absence of transitional forms; transitional forms being the evidence for evolution which, "would only have existed on the sender planet, not on Earth,"Dr. Crick then informs us what to expect of the fossil record: p.144
