(afdave is a Real Scientist)

The universe appears to be rather full of water? Please. You don't even have any hard evidence for very much water on any other planets in our solar system, much less in the entire universe. The best evidence for water in places OTHER than earth says that there is some in comets and asteroids. Not oceans on Europa and elsewhere.

We've only explored our solar system. Isn't it a bit preemptive to assume there can't be liquid water in other systems or in other galaxies?

You have to praise the man. No one is that stupid. He's either a good actor or so willfully ignorant he successfully purgd himself of any hint of intelligence.

enceladus actually seems to spew big jets of water into orbit...

and how are comets better proof than a moon that has its entire surface covered in water?

Dear, there is NO WATER on comets and asteroids. The data about water(not oceans)in Europa and Mars is taken from prospections via satellite that the NASA sends. And out of the solar system, same method or radiotelescope data. Many comets and asteroids have been analysed and THERE IS NO FUCKING WATER.

Here's the pitch, way outside, and afdave goes for it! He whiffed, and he's outta here!

"Many comets and asteroids have been analysed and THERE IS NO FUCKING WATER."

Here I thought that comets were really big dirty snowballs. Who says they don't have water?

there may be no oceans on europa, but there is a lot of water ice. Lots of water ice on enceladus as well. Callisto and ganymede also contain a lot of water, not to mention the fact that mars has polar ice caps that contains water ice. And we've found water ice on the moon!

What Viva said. And it looks as if afdave has lost yet again. Is anyone surprised by this?

Yet another armchair astronomer. Guess you can close down NASA now. We have a bunch of fundies who know MUCH more.

What a total goit! Have you never heard of spectroscopy? It's quite a well known method of detecting elements and compounds over astronomical distances. We've even found water in the atmosphere of planets circling other suns. It sends a signal, clear as day. Water is probably one of the most abundant compounds in the universe.

afdave, just so you know ice is frozen water.

"af" stand "assinine fool"? Shit man everybody has already figured out you have no knowledge of science at all, why advertise the fact?

Someone's playing cute. I read the argument as "liquid surface water".

Other than Terra, there is no liquid surface water in the solar system. The reason for that, it's either too hot, too cold, not enough gravity, or vacuum.

Water, water everywhere...and n00bs pay more for the bottled stuff than for gasoline. Go figure.

afdave doesn't know about spectoscopy, which makes him a Real Stupid Scientist.

Has anyone explained to him what a comet's tail is made of...? Not to mention the polar ice caps on Mars?

*sigh* It'll never penetrate his thick skull, so...

Europa is covered in ice and probably has a liquid ocean under that, dumbass. Encedalus and Ganymede may also have similar underground oceans.

but that ice is frozen methane, not frozen water

afdave wants "hard evidence"? Talk about casting pearls before swine.

Not on Europa, it ain't! Europa's too close to the sun for methane to freeze. That ice on the surface is H2O ice.

Guess what? When they say some comets are made mostly of ice?

IT'S NOT WATER ICE.

New research shows Comet LINEAR was likely made up of water with the same isotopic composition as water found here on Earth
