Life on Earth Came From Other Planets
... The origin of life is unknown, though speculation abounds. For thousands of years philosophers, scientists, and theologians have argued that Earthly life comes from non-life. This belief has been part of Catholic Church dogma since the 4th century (Augustine, 1957). Although known by many names (e.g ...
