The Origins and Evolution of Life From Space and Other Planets
Rhawn Joseph, Ph.D.
Cosmology.com

In 2009, with the establishment of the Journal of Cosmology (and its rare and unique policy of publishing evidence and theories even if the editors disagreed with them, so long as they passed peer review), I submitted and published five monographs which appear here in the inaugural first edition as listed here in the Contents of Volume 1. These lengthy monographs provided a detailed review and analysis of all the relevant research in astrobiology, genetics, microbiology, viralogy, and astrophysics; all of which demonstrated conclusively that life could not have originated on Earth, that life ("the genetic seeds of life") had arrived here from other planets encased in all manner of debris and accompanied by viruses, and that evolution had been shaped by genes introduced into the genome by microbes and viruses; and what appeared to be a random evolution was in fact a form of embryology and metamorphosis under genetic regulatory control; the replication of life forms which long ago evolved on other planets.

My theories which I first began developing in the 1970s, and the extensive evidence I have subsequently marshaled in support, can be summed up as "Life on Earth Came From Other Planets" and that when the first living creatures arrived on this planet they began engaging in horizontal gene exchange which directly impacted evolution on and the environment this planet.

My theories on evolution can interpreted in two ways: 1) archae, bacteria, and viruses from other planets, have repeatedly inserted genes into the eukaryotic genome thereby influencing the direction and trajectory of life's evolution on this planet. Or 2) Extraterrestrial viruses and microbes have repeatedly inserted genes into the eukaryotic genome, and contain all the genes, genetic elements, and genetic instructions for altering the environment which acts on those genes donated by viruses and prokaryotes, and that evolution is a form of embryogenesis and metamorphosis, the replication of creatures who long ago evolved on other planets.
