All the liquid methane you can ask for, only it’s a billion miles away. It’s the only place in the solar system with a solid surface and an atmosphere thicker than earth’s. It’s even the same composition as earth’s except for the lack of oxygen.

Most astronomers don’t believe in God
I know, I worked with them for ten years at what was then the worlds largest optical Observatory.
Christians were very rare there.
I’m a Christian(maybe not the best example)
but WE being Earth are unique in the observable universe, hands down.
God created us and we are made in HIS image, on a world hospitable to our physiology, that is unique, as far we have observed.
Not saying that God put his eggs “all in one basket”.
But in making kids you want them to be like you when they mature- Hopefully better.
That is a very mammal trait, but I suspect every alien in the universe that is a parent would be the same.
God is our parent.

The sad part was they didn’t have the Plutonium needed for a nuclear probe so after years and years they only got 2 hours worth of data .
