Panspermia (from Ancient Greek πᾶν (pan) 'all' and σπέρμα (sperma) 'seed') is the hypothesis that life exists throughout the Universe, distributed by space dust, [1] meteoroids, [2] asteroids, comets, [3] and planetoids, [4] as well as by spacecraft carrying unintended contamination by microorganisms, [5] [6] [7] known as directed ...
Information panspermia is the concept of life forms travelling across the universe by means of transmission of compressed information representing said life forms e.g. via genome coding, which can then enable the recovery of intelligent life.
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek. Traditional religion attributed the origin of life to deities who created the natural world. Spontaneous generation, the first naturalistic theory of abiogenesis, goes back to Aristotle and ancient Greek philosophy, and continued to have support in Western scholarship until the 19th century.

Pseudo-panspermia (sometimes called soft panspermia, molecular panspermia or quasi-panspermia) is a well-supported hypothesis for a stage in the origin of life. The theory first asserts that many of the small organic molecules used for life originated in space (for example, being incorporated in the solar nebula , from which the planets condensed).
Panspermia did not get much scientific support and deflects the need of an answer instead of explaining observable phenomena. Although interest in panspermia grew when traces of organic materials were found in meteorites, it is currently accepted that life started locally on Earth.
