There are 70 known moons, planets to includ the sun in this solar system. Out of all of these Europa seems to be one of the most likely candidates for life. What do you think? Please feel free explain your ideas.

Extremely LIKELY - for millions of years amino acids [building blocks of life on earth] created by elements combining and energized by solar radiation, have been falling onto the many solar system bodies.
ADD to that mix the water on Europa, which almost certainly is liquid a Km or so below the surface, and you have a perfect breeding ground for life [assuming you are not a religion ostrich, hiding from plain facts].
We know that there is life in Antartica, even below the ice cover, and in areas that never get above freezing. Why not Europa?

Yes. They found life under extreme condition too hot or cold here in the earth. SO it is more likely some life will exist there. Dont expect to find fish or a shark. I am expecting small life forms

It is possible some kind of bacterial life can exist. Apollo mission found bacteria living on a unmanned moon lander sent just prior to their missions. So if bacteria can live in the almost vacuum of space and microgravity it probably can live just about anywhere.

Never mind that!
Go to www.bbc.com
You will see that they have just found real lakes on Titan - one of Saturn's moons!
Cool or what? Go, go - check out bbc.com!
