I believe the theory exists in religion as well; its called "panspermia."
I seriously hope MobileRead doesn't have a censorbot that's going to freak out over a certain particle inside that word.
Anyway, its the idea that the "seeds of life" (trigger Beavis & Butthead reaction) were scattered all over the known and unknown universe by some thing. Its also a way to write creationist sci-fi if you wanted to, by having the god of your choice do the seeding.
