Because humans on earth is a blip in time. Earth is estimated to be 4.5 billion years old. The evidence of the first humans ia about 50,000 years ago. So there’s 4,499,950,000 years there wasn’t any human life (that we know about) on earth.
The odds of an advanced civilization being on Titan at the same exact time as ours is a Powerball-type longshot.
The NASA budget in 2007 was .5% of the total Federal budget. And only a fraction of that was for unmanned exploration.
Well that's silly. In fact part of this discovery came from "seeing" shifts in the surface topography of Titan in the short time that Cassini has been orbiting Saturn.
They found sulfur volcanoes on Jupiter's moon Io, through visual observations.
They found fractured ice all over the surface of Europa, that was seen.
They found active stream gullies on Mars and ancient riverbeds by seeing them.
They found an asteroid with it's own little moon by seeing it.
They even saw a comet crash into Jupiter which left us with a whole host of new science to chew on.
Science is about discovery both visual and inferred from observation and calculation.
You have seen others - ever have a compound fracture?
Certainly it wouldn't be life like we have here... because the environment is different. It should be more advanced life there, that is capable of handling extreme temperatures. Isn't that the premis of evolution. That through mutation, survival of the fittest, etc life developed according to the environment around it?
And really, your analogy of a powerball longshot isn't even close to the true odds of life developing on this planet by itself.
Sorry but I still don’t see any water. It is only an assumption water is causing any shifting. Being a different planet, we have no idea what could cause it.
Not according to evolution through mutation. Life should have developed from that water that was capable of withstanding its environment.
It takes more than just water present to form life.
Perhaps there is/was life on Titan, we’ll find out soon enough I’m sure. My guess is that there is some micro aquatic life there.
BTW.. Pull the oar out of your ass.
Not trillions. Money spent on exploration and research is money well spent. NASA is not what it was back in the 60’s, but they are still way ahead of any other government organization on returns on the dollar spent.
How can there have been life there that wasn’t able to survive the environment? That wan’t able to mutate and pull itself up by it’s bootstraps? That wasn’t able to better itself?
They do have an idea what might be causing it.........water.
You’re too dense to understand this.
It better get busy mutating if it ever wants to amount to anything.....
We are probably not going to find life on Titan or any of the other outer moons except for Europa. It is just too cold. There might be liquid water, but not enough energy for life to make it.
If you detest evolution so much, then provide another scientific explanation that covers all the available evidence, including the age of the universe and Earth, dinosaur bones, meteor/comet impacts. When you have an explanation that also fits in with known physics, maybe I and others will listen seriously to you.
If you don't understand the complex science behind remote sensing, then you need to believe the people who do. The Earth has an iron core - no doubt whatsoever, but no one has ever seen it or observed it directly. No one with any scientific background disputes some things, because the evidence is rock solid through observations, direct and inferred. You could say that the Earth's core might be made of grape jelly since no one has been there, but if you want to take the time to learn the science you will see very quickly why the indirect evidence wins out for iron.
If your doctor tells you you have a brain tumor or are on the verge of an aneurysm because of indirect scientific evidence, are you going to doubt him until someone shows you first hand?
Everytime we find water on other planets without advanced life form we demonstrated that the evolutionists theories don't prove out.
No, but this assumption is based upon the data indicating that the major surface component of Titan is water ice.
But evolution through mutation teaches that life overcomes the environment. It adapts and configures itself to live and in fact advance regardless of the circumstances.
