No mention about them coming here and taking out organic molecules.

First Sign Of Water Found On An Alien World

Organic molecules are expected. They are found even in gas clouds between stars. If they find an oxygen atmosphere on a planet, that would be a sign of life as we know it. Otherwise, not.

Who knew Hillary had her own planet.

Well, since the only solar system we know much about has planets and life the assumption would be that life is likely to occur and abundant. That such an idea is foreign to the many religions as well as the current set of fixed ideas we call ‘science’ doesn’t reduce it’s validity.

I’m always amused by the egocentric similarity of religious people and scientists who both claim that life is unique to one planet in one corner of one galaxy in a universe of apparently limitless scope.

I’m sure I’ll get burned at the stake for this. Or have my grant threatened.

Hasn’t Saturn’s Titan been theorized to have either liquid Methane or Ethane seas on it?

Because HD 189733b orbits very close to its parent star – just 10% of Mercury's distance from the Sun, it is very hot, with atmospheric temperatures of about 700° Celsius.

It's a dry heat (1,292° F).

H2O and CH4 (water and methane) are very common chemicals in the universe.

Temperatures just have to be a little higher than absolute zero and slightly lower than the surface of a star for the elements to combine in this form.
