Its a well known but crappy theory because the life would have to survive the explosion of the planet it was origionally on, survive space travel (a vaccum), and then live through the scorching heat of entry through our atmosphere
Errrm, check the links, dude, it's real. The meteor hit earth about a year ago and the results are in. They DID find organic molecules. It's not a "crappy theory" any longer. What is more, the stuff is older than our solar system. That is, 4.6 billion years old, proving that it did not come from earth.

Maybe I won't see it, but the scientists who studied this meteorite did.

Spectacular Discovery Made http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2000/09/000904093243.htm The Tagish Lake Meterorite has been found to contain organic molecules that are older than our solar system. http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2006/11/30/meteorite-yukon.html Is this proof of otherworldly life? Was our own planet seeded by similiar meteorites billions of years ago? Seems to me that at the very least this indicates that life exists elsewhere in the universe. Rating: 5
