After the first few replies I was going to be like "where the fuck is your scepticism guys, or is it a biased and directed scepticism"... We've brought back rocks from the Moon and from Mars - the Moon was once covered in water. We've examined them for decades, and haven't found any signs of life in Moon rocks or Mars rocks - two sources close to the earth that should contain an abundant amount of microbes to find inside of rocks - we simply haven't found them. If we can't find them from rocks we selected and took from there, then how likely is it we're going to find life inside of a random meteorite from some random unknown source? Furthermore for Panspermia to have any credibility at all we would find life on the moon - it was once covered in water, we should find plenty of life in the rocks if life can be "seeded" that way.
