Recently there has been speculation that life on earth was origionally created when an asteroid containing bacteria (or archaeabacteria) collided into earth. The bacteria then inhabited the earth, evolving into algae, then into reptiles, into mammals, then eventually into humans.
What do you think?

It has been scientifically proven that some asteroids carry extremophiliphic bacteria - that can survive extreme pressures and temperatures.
Darwin's theory of evolution does not explain the creation of life...it assumes that life spontaneously generates.

This is an open question, and can potentially be answered in the next couple decades if we find life, any life, on another planet like Mars or one of the moons of Jupiter or Saturn.
If we find such life, or even well preserved fossils of such life, then we can compare the biochemical molecules of the extraterrestrial life with that of Earth life. If the biochemistry of both is the same, then the Earth life and the ET life had to share the same origin, which means we are of alien origin (along with all life on Earth).
By 'same' I mean, is based on the same kinds of proteins, including the left or right handedness of the proteins.
Answering this question is one of the outstanding reasons to look for life elsewhere in our solar system.

Yes. We are descendents of the Bovenites. The Bovenits came to Earth many thousands of years ago to study our then-primordial planet. While here, one of them took a dump. From this scat two evolutionary tracks took hold. First, there were the Ardogurthrinine, from which evolved all modern mammals, including man and ape. Second, there were the Serguthrinine, from which evolved Southerners who eat fried-Oreos and call other people "Boy." The Serguthrinine persist to this day, working mainly as police officers in the Southern states, where then can generally be identified by their wearing of reflective sunglasses.
In answer to your question, yes, we all come from a big hunk of turd, with the Southerners never wholey becoming free of it.

You know? since being here at Yahoo Answers - I'd believe that many humans are just that --- direct descendants of 'other world' beings. . .planted here, to drive the aboriginals - nuts
As for the rest of the 'normals' on earth?
It's quite plausible - your asteroid theory; especially when one looks at the human brain - with it's layers and levels . . . reptilian, mammalian, and the largest grey matter area, just inside the skull surface. . . and how it has evolved to what we have today.. . hopefully modern science will be able to enlighten us, eventually.
Good question - good thawt material. . . thanx

That would answer a lot of questions I have about people...
Seriously tho. Who is to say? Unless you can build a time machine.
I guess a person would have to do a lot of research on this to come to their own conclusion.
