under the thick ice of Jupiter's moon Europa, or somewhere on Saturn's moon Titan in it's oceans?

Im not sure about these specific places but it's hard to believe we are the only planet in all of the universe that has any living creatures on it. It's just very unlikley that we are all alone. So yes, I believe there is some type of life somewhere else.

Titan is possible.
Europa I'd say almost definitely... but we will have a hard time finding it.
All the requirements are there: Water, Heat, all the elements of life (Oxygen, Carbon, etc), magnetic induction fields, etc.... The heat comes from the tidal forces constantly deforming the core as it passes through the multiple fields of Jupiter and its companions.
We've seen on Earth that life can exist on the bottom of the sea floor near volcanic vents even though the surrounding water temperatures just a short distance away from the vent are unlivable for anything we have seen elsewhere on Earth.
I doubt the lifeforms are very advanced... no sperm whales or dolphins on Europa... but there should be something... and it is bound to be very interesting :)

Yes, there is life on Saturns moon titan. We know from looking into some of the deepest caves and Oceans on Earth that life can exist anywhere. I know that we will see this once we become the true explorers that we are meant to be.
In the biggest and deepest caves that are found in New Mexico, we see life in an almost zero oxygen environment.
Where nothing else can survive, "including man" we see bacteria and other forms of life including a one of a kind angel fish.
Life finds a way to happen, our understanding of this is just starting to come about.

Possibly microbial life exists there, but we will never know until someone brings back the proof. The gravity on Jupiter is simply too strong to support any intelligent life and it is too far from the sun and too cold for any of it's moons to have intelligent life on it.
However we have recently found life living off the deep ocean vents on this planet so it is quite possible that some forms of life can exist under extreme conditions.

well it doesn't say in the bible that there aint life on mars in fact jesus said that he has other sheep and they hear him etc. etc. it's in the gospels. anyways I think it would be a broad definition of life because I don't believe humanoids could live on jupiter etc. they would need an m-class environment but I do believe that there is life out there.......the more amazing the universe the more amazing the creator I always say.

there probably isn't life on titan since its too cold, europa is a possibility since there is water and oxygen. either place is possible, but we might not know for quite some time.

Your guess is as good as mine and I would go with Europa as most likely. Life in liquid methan (Titan) seems far fetched.

Most likely not due to the temperature of the moons and gravitational pressure experienced on both moons.

Titan: I don't think so
Europa: Well if we go under the ice we might find somthing.

It's hard to say but i do think their is some life form there. Besides sometimes technology is proven to be wrong and can be off.
