Default Creation & Evolution types: What does the discovery of water (liquid) on Mars

and Saturn's moon do . . . . . . for (or to) your position?

Be forewarned, I use this site the way I think it was meant to be used (most of the time, lol) . . . meaning that if someone I happen to disagree with is at least reasonably articulate (insofar as I can still understand them) . . . they still get Best Answer.

Thanks for your opinions!
Steve, thanks for clarifying. I honestly didn't read more than the headline.

I don't think that creationists or evolutionists will have much trouble with the fact that there's water ice on Mars. After all, Europa seems to be an ice planet with probably a watery ocean beneath, and comets are almost entirely ice.
How could a theological position be defended or assaulted based on the discovery of water elsewhere in the solar system?
As to the liquid on Titan, remember that it's hydrocarbons, not water. What water there might be there is frozen as hard as granite.

Europa is an ice planet, because there's ice, that's what makes scientists think, "was there life on Europa"?
