Glycine (An Amino Acid) Detected in Comet Sample

So this isn't huge news, but it's interesting.  Fans of the Panspermia theory are probably exited, though.  In reading various stories about it, I found the comments on the Daily Mail website kind of surprising.  A fair percentage of the Brits writing about it sounded remarkably similar to the baying hounds of Young Earth Creationism that we're all too familiar with in the US.  I guess stories like this are guaranteed to bring them out from under the porch, even in a relatively secular place like Great Britain.
