CAMBRIDGE, MA, February 10, 2011 (Press-News.org) Life on Earth, came from other planets, and has a genetic ancestry leading backwards in time over 10 billion years - so proclaims a revolutionary, paradigm busting text, The Biological Big Bang, edited by famed astrobiologist and astrophysicist Dr. Chandra Wickramasinghe. Chandra, along with his colleague astrophysicist Fred Hoyle, are the "fathers" of the field known today as "astrobiology."
Hoyle coined the term "The Big Bang"; and Dr. Wickramasinghe and he coined the term "Astrobiology" in 1981, invented the science of astro-chemistry and have published major controversial discoveries on the origins of life.
"The fossil, genetic, and biological evidence is conclusive" states Dr. Wickramasinghe, "and is detailed in the 33 chapters of this text, authored by a veritable who's who of the top scientists in the world: Life on Earth came from other planets, and was deposited on this world early in its history encased in stellar debris including comets, meteors, asteroids, and pieces of broken off planet." See http://JournalofCosmology/Books.html.
According to Richard Hoover of NASA, "We have found fossil evidence of microbes in meteors which are older than this solar system."
Only those who cling to the Biblical explanation found in Genesis, chapter 1, where we are told Earth has special life-generating powers, and those who believe Earth is at the center of the biological universe, would dispute the conclusive scientific evidence detailed in this text.
"There is biological evidence of life in this planet's oldest rocks, which means life was on this planet from the very beginning. And, as independently determined by 3 different teams of scientists, the genetic evidence indicates life has a genetic pedigree extending backwards in time billions of years before Earth was formed," says Dr. Wickramasinghe.
DNA & EVOLUTION FROM SPACE
"The genetic 'Seeds of Life' flow throughout the cosmos, and contain the genes and genetic instructions for the evolution and metamorphosis of every creature which has walked, crawled, swam or slithered across the Earth" concludes Dr. Joseph, based on his peer reviewed research which was the subject of a dozen peer reviewed commentaries published in the Journal of Cosmology. "Once these life forms fell to Earth, they terraformed the planet, creating an oxygen atmosphere and secreting oceans of calcium which enabled oxygen breathing animals with bones and brains to evolve."
Dr. Chandra Wickramasinghe and Dr. Hoyle had championed the idea that evolution on Earth was affected by genes from space. "However, it was the work of Dr. Joseph, and the other authors of this text which has conclusively established that microbes and viruses are interplanetary genetic messengers and obtained innumerable genes through horizontal gene transfer and which serve as vast genetic libraries which has guided the trajectory of evolution of life on this planet," says Dr. Wickramasinghe.
The evidence is overwhelming, concludes Dr. Joseph: "Bacteria, archae, and viruses have taken root on innumerable worlds much older than our own, and act as interplanetary genetic messengers, acquiring genes and transferring genes from species to species as they and their descendants are deposited on different planets following cosmic collisions."
THE DEATH OF DARWINISM
The evidence detailed in this text, The Biological Big Bang, overturns Darwin's theory of evolution. Evolution is effected by genes carried within the genomes of viruses and microbes which fell to Earth from other planets and which were acquired through horizontal gene exchange. "Horizontal gene exchange is a major factor in evolution and the role of gene transfer has been confirmed by other scientists" concludes Dr. Wickramasinghe. However, microbes and viruses from space continue to
fall to Earth effecting evolution on this planet. "What we have developed and proposed in this text is a cosmic theory of evolution which completely overturns Darwinism."
These genes not only effected biological evolution but altered the environment which promoted the next stage of evolutionary development. According to Dr. Joseph, "Living creatures modify the environment, which acts on gene selection giving rise to tissues, organs, and species which had been coded into genes inherited from ancestral species whose own ancestors hailed from other worlds. What we call "evolution" is under genetic-environmental control, similar to embryogenesis and metamorphosis, and involves complex gene-environmental interactions. Evolution is not random but is instead the replication of
creatures which long ago lived on other planets."
"Life, and vast storehouses of genetic information, were carried to Earth by comets, asteroids, meteors, and even pieces of planet which originated in other solar systems" says Dr. Wickramasinghe. "Certainly natural selection plays a major role, but what is "naturally selected" are those traits which existed prior to their selection and which were encoded into genes inherited from life forms which lived on other planets."
GENES HAVE A 10 BILLION YEAR ANCESTRY
According to Chandra Wickramasinghe "It has been scientifically demonstrated that microbes can easily survive the ejection from and crash landing onto a planet, and a prolonged journey through space. Further, the genetic evidence compiled by myself, Dr. Joseph, and others, proves conclusively that it took at least 8 billion years for life to evolve from non-life. It is scientifically impossible for life to have formed in just a few hundred million years on this planet, especially when all the necessary ingredients were missing. Since life was present on this planet from the very beginning, the only logical, scientific explanation is that life on Earth came from other planets."
As detailed by Dr. Joseph: "If Life were to appear on a desert island we wouldn't claim it was randomly assembled in an organic soup or created by the hand of god; we'd conclude it washed to shore or fell from the sky. Earth too, is an island, orbiting in a sea of space, and living creatures and their DNA have been washing to shore and falling from the sky since our planet's creation."
THE BIOLOGICAL BIG BANG
As summed up by Dr. Joseph: "The likelihood that life on Earth was created in an Earthly-organic soup is the equivalent of discovering a computer on Mars and proclaiming it was randomly assembled in the Methane Sea. There just was not enough time and all the essential ingredients were missing. Life in this galaxy most likely arose in a nebular cloud, perhaps within the oceans of a primordial planet."
As detailed in this text, The Biological Big Bang, life in this galaxy may have originated over 10 billion years ago within primordial planets drifting within nebular clouds. Bacteria, archae, and viruses may each have originated in different stellar environments. Once life formed it was deposited on innumerable planets and began exchanging genes.
The Earth, too, was seeded with life, which fell upon the new planet encased in meteors, asteroids, comets, and oceans of ice.
EVOLUTION AS EMBRYOLOGY: THE GENETIC SEEDS OF LIFE
Once on Earth, microbes and viruses exchanged genes, triggering multi-cellularity and the formation and evolution of the first multi-cellular eukaryotes, and then the evolution of plants and animals perfectly adapted for a world which had been genetically transformed and prepared for them.
Genes act on the environment, biologically altering the environment, and the altered environment (in conjunction with regulatory genes) acts on genes which had been inherited from ancestral species which long ago lived on other worlds.
As summed up by Dr. Joseph: "Just as apple seeds contain the genetic instructions for the growth of apple trees, these genetic seeds of life contained the DNA-instructions for the Tree of Life, and the metamorphosis of all life, including woman and man: the replication of creatures which long ago lived on other planets."

What your TV habits may say about your fear of crime
2011-02-09
What's your favorite prime-time crime show? Do you enjoy the fictional world of "CSI" or "Law & Order," or do you find real-life tales like "The First 48" or "Dateline" more engrossing? Your answers to those questions may say a lot about your fears and attitudes about crime, a new study finds.
Researchers from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln surveyed hundreds of adults about how often they watched various kinds of crime TV – made-up dramas, documentary-style "real crime" programs, and local and national news. They found that how each type of program depicts crime was ...
Brain's 'radio stations' have much to tell scientists
2011-02-09
Like listeners adjusting a high-tech radio, scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have tuned in to precise frequencies of brain activity to unleash new insights into how the brain works.
"Analysis of brain function normally focuses on where brain activity happens and when," says Eric C. Leuthardt, MD. "What we've found is that the wavelength of the activity provides a third major branch of understanding brain physiology."
Researchers used electrocorticography, a technique for monitoring the brain with a grid of electrodes temporarily implanted ...
Cannabis linked to earlier onset of psychosis
2011-02-09
A new study has provided the first conclusive evidence that cannabis use significantly hastens the onset of psychotic illnesses during the critical years of brain development – with possible life-long consequences.
The first ever meta-analysis of more than 20,000 patients shows that smoking cannabis is associated with an earlier onset of psychotic illness by up to 2.7 years.
The analysis, by an international team including Dr Matthew Large, from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) School of Psychiatry and Sydney's Prince of Wales Hospital, is published today in ...
Brain 'network maps' reveal clue to mental decline in old age
2011-02-09
The human brain operates as a highly interconnected small-world network, not as a collection of discrete regions as previously believed, with important implications for why many of us experience cognitive declines in old age, a new study shows.
Australian researchers have mapped the brain's neural networks and for the first time linked them with specific cognitive functions, such as information processing and language. Results from the study are published in the prestigious Journal of Neuroscience.
The researchers from the University of New South Wales are now examining ...
Western Australia's incredible underground orchid
2011-02-09
Rhizanthella gardneri is a cute, quirky and critically endangered orchid that lives all its life underground. It even blooms underground, making it virtually unique amongst plants.
Last year, using radioactive tracers, scientists at The University of Western Australia showed that the orchid gets all its nutrients by parasitising fungi associated with the roots of broom bush, a woody shrub of the WA outback.
Now, with less than 50 individuals left in the wild, scientists have made a timely and remarkable discovery about its genome.
Despite the fact that this ...
Trial and error: The brain learns from mistakes
2011-02-09
In the developing brain, countless nerve connections are made which turn out to be inappropriate and as a result must eventually be removed. The process of establishing a neuronal network does not always prove precise or error free. Dr. Peter Scheiffele's research group at the Biozentrum of the University of Basel have been able to document this phenomenon using advanced microscopy techniques in the developing cerebellum, a brain area required for fine movement control. Dr. Scheiffele's group has discovered that a protein traditionally associated with bone development is ...
Possible crimes against humanity by Burmese military in Chin State, Burma
2011-02-09
The health impacts of human rights violations in Chin State, home to the Chin ethnic minority in Burma, are substantial and the indirect health outcomes of human rights violations probably dwarf the mortality from direct killings. These findings from a study by Richard Sollom from Physicians for Human Rights, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, and colleagues will be published in this week's PLoS Medicine and should encourage the international community to intensify its efforts to reduce human rights violations in Burma.
The military junta, which seized power in Burma in 1962, ...
Heavy drinking in older teenagers has long- and short-term consequences
2011-02-09
In a systematic review of current evidence published in this week's PLoS Medicine, the authors—Jim McCambridge from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, London, UK, and colleagues—conclude that there is enough evidence to recommend that reducing drinking during late adolescence is likely to be important for preventing long-term adverse consequences of drinking, as well as protecting against more immediate harms.
Although there is an urgent need for better studies in this area, research to date provides some evidence that high alcohol consumption in late adolescence ...
