Is our DNA from a distant planet that exploded? |

1. Have you been talking to Tom Cruise? |

Do you want to end up like Katie Holmes?

It sounds like a reasonable answer. At least it's more credible than the whole earth and universe being constructed by a god in 7 days 10,000 years ago. It also takes into account the possibility that there could be more humanoids out there someplace. I'm an SF fan, so I tend to be open-minded about these things.

6. Yes, the further away the better. |

Like in a galaxy with no star gates. That way the skeptics can't get any direct confirmation.
And heaven forbid that all life have the same common elements on this planet!!

7. Space seeding is an active theory as a possible explanation |
|
Consider that there are nebula out there that have sugars and complex proteins formed in them. Perhaps not from an exploding planet but there is every reason to suspect that abiogensis came about due to something falling from space.

8. yeah, not to rain on all the humor upthread |

But there's an interesting debate going on about whether the simplest amino acid -- glycine -- has actually been detected in the interstellar medium. Something that complex has a very complicated pattern of absorption lines, so it's very hard to identify.

Our family is from a nearby planet. We just got caught in the asteroid belt without sufficient supplies of Xlaflxplt and were forced to crash land and hope for rescue.
The mothership should be by any decade now.
