Do You Believe in Life Outside of Earth?

Pictures of our solar system never gets old to me. I'm always amazed by the beauty of other planets and moons that used to be out of reach. But sometimes, something more profound appears. Once in a while, similarities with home are discovered.

Here is one, for example: After Europa -- one of Jupiter's moons discovered by Galileo Galilei -- NASA is almost certain that there is water under the surface of Titan.

The discovery was made after observing tides around 30 feet high on the surface of the moon, suggesting that Titan isn't entirely made of solid rock, but instead the surface would lie on a sub-ocean.



You might argue that there will be no light from the sun, therefore life cannot emerge, but studies on earth showed that water and heat is all life needs. And for the heat, it would come from the strong gravity from Saturn, intensely squeezing the planet during its 16-day orbit. Do you believe in life on the Saturn Moon?


NASA.GOV reports:
Data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft have revealed Saturn's moon Titan likely harbors a layer of liquid water under its ice shell.

    I think you would have to be small minded to think we are the only ones.
    With thousands of other galaxies out there...

    Since you showed me that picture with Saturn's moon Titan, there's a slight chance something other that us could be living in our solar system.

    people look at life through what they conceive it to be and have known. Why we limit what life can be is strange to me as we didn't create it. so how can we rightfully say it has to appear to us in a format of our choosing? take a step back and realize there is much more than what we understand in the Universe

    Yes, I think there's lots of life out there. The universe is too vast not to have spawned life in other parts of space. I would love to see us make contact before I die.

    I agree, we cannot be the only one's in this massive universe. Believing that would be like believing sticking a banana in liquid nitrogen would heat it.

    Somewhere, there must be life of some sort. How it compares to life as we know it is another matter.

    However, hard to say what the situation might be on Saturn's moon specifically.

    Dont have to believe, its not some crazy theory anymore, our universe is so massive that to deny life,
    has about as much credibility as when people once said our world was flat.

    Just in our galaxy, there are an infinite number of stars. Most likely each has a number of planets circling them as earth does around the star we call the sun. You would have to be very arrogant to believe that Earth is the only planet capable of supporting life in the universe.

    I don't know if it's human life. But it would be a little naive to think that there is absolutely nothing going on. Something is out there.

    I'm not sure about that, as accounts exist from cultures and religions far, far older than yours that "visitors from the sky" living among people and teaching them. People who built and achieved things that we still can't do today, and strangely enough never mentioned Jesus or angels by name...

    The modern adaptations seem to be a hollow copies in a vain attempt to capitalize on existing mythology as religion has always done since it's beginnings.

    The poll title says "Do You Believe in Life Outside of Earth?", while the text ends with the question "Do you believe in life on the Saturn Moon?"?!?!? Might wanna fix that, deBrice. :)

    "Yes" to the former (incredibly high probability given the extend of the universe), "Probably not" to the latter, but I'd be happy if proven wrong.
