Under the ice ?

So far, you'd have to say that the odds aren't too good. We don't even know for sure that there is liquid water, and we don't know the chemical composition of it if it is liquid. Other conditions like temperature and pressure would make a difference, too. But it is REALLY tantalising, and if there is even a chance of life there, shouldn't we make every effort to investigate it? Imagine how finally having proof that there is life elsewhere in the universe would affect our belief systems!
Best bets: Europa, Enceladus, Mars (past life, at least)

It's very possible there are microbes there. If you think about it, the microbes on earth had to come from somewhere, unless there is a God and he created them from nothing. But if not, the microbes that created life on earth must have come from comets hitting earth. Scientists believe that all the water on earth came from comets, which carried the seeds of life. If this is true, there could possibly be life on Europa if Jupiter generates enough heat on the moon. Also if this is true life must be plentiful throughout the rest of the galaxy. The only way we will know for sure is to send probes there and look. As for Mars, i believe Mars needs human hands to speed up the work looking for life. So we need to send humans to Mars.

Considering the sheer amount of ice on that planet, there could very well be some form of likely unicellular life. If you're looking for life in any form out in that part of the system, look at Titan, the largest satelllite of Saturn. Titan has an atmosphere as well has possible liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons which could realistically support some kind of life. Read Ben Bova's Saturn and Titan for both a fascinating read and interesting scientific theory.

Hi,
On our planet there is life under the ice... But we have also water.
That means - there are no humans, but some life might be there too.

Well, if you're talking spanish, then yes, "su es la vida en Europa." But to actually answer your question, simply put: no, not really.

yes there has to be something under that ice.

Do they believe there is life on Earth?
