I like this subject. There are smart people, and plenty of them, that believe we already got off other celestial bodies.
When you think about "getting off this planet"... It may not be a direct line from conscious human beings here to conscious human beings there.
We may send modified organisms to multiple places and they'll evolve. Exactly the way we did here. With no direct ties to "where we came from" because it might take 200-300 million years for that evolution to take place.
You can find religious texts that support the theory as well, mainly Buddhism and Hinduism. I was reading buddhist texts in parallel with Copernicus. Evolution is a big word.
