{{cquote|Unfortunately, Crick was not being entirely forthright in this regard. He does hold a religious view. Atheism is a religion in the sense of answering the ‘big questions’, such as ‘Where did we come from?’ and ‘What is our destiny?’, and is foundationally a belief system, since the non-existence of God could hardly be said to have been proven! So he must explain the origin of DNA from his religious perspective, and, subsequently, the origin of life on earth.<ref><ref>http://creationontheweb.com/content/view/125</ref>}}

==Directed Panspermia and Science Fiction==
Directed panspermia is a major theme in a number of science fiction television shows. Gene Roddenberry's ''Star Trek: the Next Generation'' has one episode positing panspermia as the origin of life for a number of species, and building on this idea to suggest the need for peace amongst those species with common ancestry. ''Stargate SG-1'' also suggests all humanoid life is the result of panspermia from a predecessor, master humanoid race called only the "Ancients."
