Wait. You mean to say this allege life form was alive before it entered the Earth's atmosphere?

That is truly remarkable, if it is proven that these microscopic lifeforms could survive in the vacuum of space. Would be one of the greatest scientific discoveries of all time.
"Given the controversial nature of his discovery, we have invited 100 experts and have issued a general invitation to over 5,000 scientists from the scientific community to review the paper and to offer their critical analysis," Schild wrote in an editor's note along with the article.

"If the Big Bang was the start of everything, what came before it?"
That is one of the questions being posed by a new website being set up by the Vatican and Italy's scientific community.
After centuries of mistrust between religion and science, the intention is to give the public a greater understanding of both sides.
The website, which will be available in Italian and English, has information on everything from astronomy to theology, from space missions to philosophy and art.
It will have three portals - one for a general audience, one for students and their professors, and one for scholars.

Within each portal, there will be a variety of multimedia platforms, including a cosmology section, and one that will have the latest data collected by satellites and unmanned probes.
The venture is being run jointly by the Vatican and the Italian Space Agency, ASI.
Scientists repeated a key Viking experiment using perchlorate-enhanced soil from Chile's Atacama Desert, which is considered one of the driest and most Mars-like places on Earth, and found telltale fingerprints of combusted organics -- the same chemicals Viking scientists dismissed as contaminants from Earth.
"Contrary to 30 years of perceived wisdom, Viking did detect organic materials on Mars," planetary scientist Christopher McKay, with NASA's Ames Research Center in California, told Discovery News. "It's like a 30-year-old cold case suddenly solved with new facts."
"If the Viking team had said 'Well, maybe there's perchlorate in the soil,' everybody would have said they're crazy -- why would there be perchlorates in the soil? It was only by having it pushed on us by Phoenix where we had no alternative but to conclude that there was perchlorate in the soil … Once you realize it's there, then everything makes sense," McKay added.

You also need to read the paper before commenting .
No one said that these things came to earth while alive. That idea came from your mind, not the paper.
