Abstract

There is a widespread sentiment that panspermia is uninteresting because it does not answer fundamental questions about the origin of life.  The modern, strong version of panspermia asks entirely new questions.  After mentioning some of the evidence in favor of strong panspermia, we will pursue this philosophical thread.  For example, "Can panspermia lead to a reconciliation between science and its fundamentalist opponents?"
