I did a research = paper on the subject of panspermia and found that some studies have been = done with E. coli that were subjected to close to 20 seconds of flash = heating up to 700 C and survived. I also found information on a bacterium called Deinococcus radiodurans = which can survive a dose of radiation 3,000 times stronger than that = which would kill a human. There never was radiation that strong on = Earth, though I could be wrong. If life originated on this planet, I am kinda curious how one could = explain the evolution of this survival capability. Just thought I would add my two cents...
