      This is a truly amazing discovery, as it is not possible that such a geyser could exist on such a small body for a long time, such a geyser could exist for tens of thousands of years only, certainly not the millions or billions of years that the Solar system is said to have existed for. Unexpected finds like this add weight to the arguments of creationists, and it certainly strenghtens my belief in the creation of the universe by God.

        That is still older than the creationist earth.

          I hear Evian has expressed interest in that water.

              It's is being heated by tidal forces, moron.

                  Both statements are true, but irrelevant to my argument. My statement gave a maximum age for the phenomenom, not the actual age which could be less. Also in such a small moon, there will not be sufficient resource of water for long period of activity. This fact limits the period these geysers could have been active for, not the source of heat particularly as some of the vapour is escaping the gravitational pull of the moon.
                  It is good there are people who like to argue and maintain the controversy, thank you.

                    Not really. Go back to the dark ages.

                      On what basis do you make such an assertion?

                        There's no controversy. There's only idiocy on Creationists' part.

                            Life requires continuous chemical reactions, so it's rather unlikely that life elsewhere won't be based on carbon, which is a rather abundant element in the universe, relatively speaking. And it's far more reactive than silicon, the other element upon which life might be theorectically based.

                              Che is right. Silicon is teh sux0r.

                              However, I think that a carbon-ammonia life should be considered, as well, but it's problematic in terms of temperature and pressure ranges for liquid ammonia.
