Ross:
What if the asteroid belonged to a seed company...like Park's Seed in space?
Wouldn't it then be *possible* that the seeds entered the earth's
atmosphere slowly and were protected by the air tight hermedic seal
of their foil packets? And, upon impact with the earth, the packets were
opened by little animals who dumped their seeds onto the soil.
You have to admit...it is an unlikely scenario...AND IT *COULD* HAVE
HAPPENED! BELIEVE IT OR NOT!
By the way, I find it odd to think that I have the
same enzymes as a carnivorous plant because humans and
CPs came from the same roots (no pun intended). That's like saying
because George Bush and I both drink Diet Coke, we're both
Republicans.
