摘要

彗星生源论认为，生命不可能在现有时间内在地球上起源。它一定有一个终极的，但尚未被发现的宇宙源头。生命的起源仍然是一个悬而未决的问题。地球上的生命是由撞击的彗星引入的，它的进一步进化是由随后获得的宇宙衍生基因驱动的。这一理论的明确预测说明了新基因的获取如何驱动进化，并与最近有关水平基因转移的发展以及逆转录病毒在进化中的作用进行了比较。彗星生源说理论的精确预测已被证实。

The sociology of science and generality of the DNA/RNA/protein paradigm throughout the cosmos.

The theory of cometary panspermia argues that life cannot have originated on Earth in the time available. It must have an ultimate, but still undiscovered cosmological source. The origin of life remains an open question. Life on Earth was introduced by impacting comets, and its further evolution was driven by the subsequent acquisition of cosmically derived genes. Explicit predictions of this theory stating how the acquisition of new genes drives evolution, are compared with recent developments in relation to horizontal gene transfer, and the role of retroviruses in evolution. Precisely stated predictions of the theory of cometary panspermia are shown to have been verified.
