NASA researchers have discovered organic material inside a meteorite the recently fell in Canada's Tagish Lake. The meteorite is especially valuable because scientists collected it shortly after it crashed in 2000, ensuring it wasn't contaminated by local bacteria. The meteorite seems to contain many small hollow organic globules, which probably formed in the cold molecular cloud of gas and dust that gave birth to the Solar System. Meteorites like this have been falling to Earth for billions of years, and probably seeded the early planet with organic material.
Life originates in comets. Not on the turbulent, molten surfaces of newborn terrestrial planets. Comets.

This(repeatedly), plus the red rain in India and still I don't think most people have caught on. I guess the next question is, where did the life inside of the comet originate?
