The title of this thread is misleading; there is no actual proof that alien life exists on Titan, only that the conditions for its' existence are possibly present there.

That being said it's certainly an interesting find.

First, NASA was just musing it over as a possibility. Second, since it consumes hydrogen it would most likely just be algae or bacteria. Microscopic basic forms. Although CNNs idea is awesome...

It's confusing that your friend could believe that just because something is not mentioned in the bible means it cannot exist. Modern societies where not mentioned in the bible nor was the technological advances mentioned (other then a few passages that point to follies of man turning away from god being interpreted that way). Does that mean these do not exist either?

The only thing this comment leads me to believe is that you have a poor understanding of the various religions, and that you think all religions are Christian. You really have to understand something if you are going to try and dispute it. I also feel you should really understand it before you immediately dismiss it.

Who is Rube Shepard?

OT: I'm a little non-plussed by the news. But if I had to guess, they would be micro-organisms with little distinguishing features.

It's not 100% true.

The only thing they discovered is that there are complex chemical activity going on on Titan's surface. While there is a hypothesis that life could be on Titan, it's just a hypothesis (which basically means educated guess) and there is another non-biological hypothesis. Still, I would love for this to be a reality.

EDIT: Here's source http://www.nasa.gov/topics/solarsystem/features/titan20100603.html

I would guess that if they're there they are probably either single celled or small multi-celled organisms. I wouldn't expect anything as complex as a fish-like being. Pretty cool though. Most (I don't have a source here it's just from my personal experience) scientists believe in extraterrestrial life of some form or another. I even believe in intelligent life, maybe not alive now, or close by but somewhere else in this huge universe there's likely to be some. Especially since the same elements and laws of physics that make our little corner of reality work are the same ones that are everywhere else. If we've got it why can't or wouldn't they?

Why are you nonplussed? This upsets you?

Here is what I really hope they look like:

But I'm going to have to agree with the OP and CNN that the fish crab creature is more likely at this point. Still I really can't express enough just how AWESOME this news really is to me. Finally we have actual evidence of other world life forms. While it's true that it hasn't been one hundred percent confirmed, I think it's still looking pretty good.
They said methane based right? Think about it for a second

Well, not so much a friend as a person that I know. And fundimentalists defy all explaination.

Life on Titan? Alright. I have to hope that any astronauts don't have any cracks in their helmets. The little bacteria WILL get inside at first leisure. I'd not like to know what alien bacteria would do to a human's biochemistry if they got methane-based life in their system.

No, I mean I find it not-un-exciting, but it hardly fills me with wonder and curiosity. Maybe I'm using the word wrong. It's just, I thought we'd already come to grips with the idea that there's other life out there. When something looks back up at the satellite with a telescope like "WTF is that?!??" then I'll be excited about extraterrestrials.
