Europa Jupiter System Mission
Assuming we find life in Europa's 100km-deep ocean, which is real
possibility, how will most people react? Will that be the final nail in the coffin of human-centric creationism? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europa_...System_Mission |

Same thing would happen as when Galileo got in trouble with the Church when he found more than seven heavenly bodies with his trusty telescope. |

I'm sure the religious honchos of the world have already prepared for the possibility of extra terrestrial life. They'll just ever so slightly adjust their irrational incantations to: "In the beginning, Gawd created the heavens and the Earth. On his way out, he dribbled his sperm on all the planets and moons." Problem solved. |

Problem solved. Even with NASA's prototypes and testing, this mission still sounds incredible, e.g. if Europa's ice turns out to be 15 or 20km thick, what are the chances their robot will be able to drill through it? They can't even do that on Earth, as far as I know. I'm also wondering if a way exists to detect signs of life without actually drilling into Europa's ocean? Think about that a while before you answer. |

Yes, we have sufficient technology as of decades ago, as well as really good stuff as of today, and as such there's no apparent forms of complex life to behold on Europa, although simple forms of fundamental biology could certainly exist, and of course the "Directed Panspermia" option is still very much alive, if not having mutated into whatever it took in order to survive.

As all life, it will be struggling to make itself known. Thick ice or even enough dry ice is actually a very good thermal insulator, as well as nearly the ideal radiation shield. Human and most other DNA as we know of can't withstand all that much radiation, and we certainly need to keep warm. A thick layer of water ice would be ideal, especially of the planet or moon itself offered the usual kinds of raw elements and it's own forms of local energy.
