And face it, that's all we're going on until we land something.

The Huygens probe has successfully landed on Saturn's largest moon Titan. At around 11:30 UTC 14 January 2005 the probe touched down on the surface of this distant world.

I'm not being deceptive. I'm pointing out facts.

Many authors of articles have tried to equate the methane on Titan to our crude oil. They don't equate.

What happens when you mash the light hydrocarbons under heat and pressure? What do they become?

In refineries, we add pressure and temperature to break down hydrocarbons. If you add enough heat and pressure you could bread down all the chemical bonds including those in methane. But it doesn't reverse the process because you add more heat and pressure.

Great pix. It's not much of a probe. What is 2k deep? No answer for that.

There are ethanol molocules in free space... See this link for details.

No yeasty beasties involved.

I can't make booze without yeast. God obviously can.
