Has anyone ever thought that most of these weird and interesting creatures at the bottom of our oceans may have came from outter space? with all kinds of dust & rocks comming into our atmosphere 90% of it will land into the sea and sink to the bottom, if there were any microscopic creatures on these rocks that can live in space they would be able to survive under our oceans with ease. Any comments are welcome

And these dusts and rocks probably didnt fly off planets with lifeforms on them...
Unless these organisms actually survive in vacuum space.
I dont see how they got off their "home planet"... and make its way percisely to Earth.
If an massive asteriod hit the planet and some rocks flew off it maybe containing life that STILL survived... what are the chances it'll land here. And what are the chances it hits a planet with lifeform?
Its is possible to happen... but probably unlikely.....

It's *possible*, but not on the basis that you think they are "weird". They are closely related to more familiar organisms, the fish, for instance, are all fish (duh). Deep-sea pycnogonids are related to shallow-sea pycogononids (pycnogonids being chelicerates, like spiders), deep-sea isopods are related to terrestrial isopods (woodlice), deep-sea sponges are related to other marine sponges, cnidarians, echinoderms, molluscs, all the same deal. They're just different, unfamiliar forms of more frequently seen taxa. Just like early explorers discovered unusual species of mammals in other countries. Kangaroos aren't aliens, as different as they are from cows and dogs.
Besides, that an organism can survive in space is no basis to suggest that it can survive in the deep ocean which is a very different environment. Osmosis is a major problem, since there is no water in the vacuum of space, but plenty in the deep sea. So is pressure. This disparity was pointed out with hilarious clarity in Futurama as Planet Express' ship plunged into the depths:
Prof. Farnsworth: Dear Lord, that’s over one hundred-fifty atmospheres of pressure!
Fry: How many atmospheres can the ship withstand?
Prof. Farnsworth: Well, it’s a spaceship, so I’d say anywhere between zero and one.
And thus, my point is made.

omg, i'm so glad i'm not the only wierdo out there. i actually think this is how humans came about too. no-one can prove where the organisms came from to start evolution, and there are so many unexplored places under the oceans, we just dont know what is down there.
there could be things beyond imagination, and they may never be discovered. sometimes imagination is better than the reality tho...

They would have had to originate on a planet some where.
They would have had to survive the impact of being hurled from the surface at escape velocity,then the rigors of space for eons, then a fiery entry to the earth's atmosphere.
They would then,someway,have to adapt to an environment with no food.
It doesn't seem too likely.

Hi,
Our Universe might exist in a bubble at the bottom of the sea on an alien planet, who really knows?

Theirs a lot of areas around our world to explore their might be some strange creatures that haven't been discover yet but waiting to be discover for example the lochnes monster I dont really know if it exist but theirs have been evidence that could live you thinking between the lines of believing or not believing. Our world is strange but we will have to keep on living life and discovering life.

Go and read "Life Cloud" by Sir Fred Hoyle and a gentleman who's name I could never pronounce in a million years, this may answer your question or even give many more.

No i think everything in earth is from earth but there must be at least a 1000 planets just like earth and some of them must have inteligent life on it just like humans and some of them more advanced than humans. There is also so many undiscovered creatures on earth

Quite possible. They will be so much safer staying under the ocean !!
