So there’s water there..... why isn’t there an advanced civilization? Isn’t that all it takes for life to spring up andd then mutate to advanced civilizations?

Ammonia would be an excellent source of nitrogen for fertilizer when they get around to farming Mars.

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.

You also need a relatively temperate climate. It's much too cold on Titan, average just above absolute zero.

Could it be “sentient water”?
