"Origin of Panspermia Theory " is an overview of an ancient natural
philosopher's revolutionary ideas on the origin of life in the
conservative religious culture of fifth-century BC Athens. The
obsession of Ionian philosopher Anaxagoras with natural science and
his utter rejection of supernatural explanations for happenings in
the physical universe violated deeply venerated religious norms
held by Athenian society.
Indeed, his belief in the folly of the posture that humans could
tease, flatter, enrage, seduce, chastise, and bargain with their
gods to manipulate outcomes almost earned him a cup of hemlock,
poured straight up by the Athenian multitude.
Anaxagoras' theory of panspermia is an example of the long-ago
situation in which science and religion first collided.
This monograph is the first of a series that tracks the theory
of panspermia from its origin to its modern counterpart,
astrobiology.
