I'd just like to point out that, while perhaps not widely accepted, exogenesis and panspermia are fairly respectable hypothesis for the origin of life within the scientific community.  While not as widely accepted as the various abiogenesis hypotheses, neither is it dismissed out of hand.  Many well respected scientists favor hypotheses along this line.

Also, panspermia or exogenesis are not really alternatives to evolution but to abiogenesis

Similarly, excepting literal interpretations of scripture, creation is also an alternative to abiogenesis rather than evolution.  There is nothing in the theory of evolution that says there cannot be a supreme "creator" being.  There is simply no empirical evidence to this effect.

On the other hand, there is some solid evidence that suggests the possibility of some sort of exogenesis.  While I haven't thouroughly read Merlin's article yet, I believe what he is citing is taken seriously within the scientific community.
