Francis Crick suggested life was seeded on earth by an intelligent alien civilization.

Coming full circle to his groundbreaking discovery of DNA's structure, Crick wondered, if life began in the great "primeval soup" suggested by the Miller/Urey experiment, why there wouldn't be a multitude of genetic materials among the different life forms. Instead, all life on Earth shares the same basic DNA structure.

Crick and Orgel wrote in their book 'Life Itself,' "an honest man, armed with all the knowledge available to us now, could only state that in some sense, the origin of life appears at the moment to be almost a miracle, so many are the conditions which would have had to have been satisfied to get it going."

Crick and Orgel put this idea forward because they appreciated the odds against life beginning here naturally. Miracles not being allowed, they came up with intelligent space aliens.

Just as others have come up with an infinity of universes, each different from the others, to handle the extreme unlikelihood that a universe would be as exactly structured for life as ours is.

Thats what "intelligent" and "educated" people do. They believe anything as long as it doesn't involve a you-know-what beginning with G. Because only stupid uneducated people believe in that.
