Seems kind of interesting. Some scientists are planning to pitch a probe to congress for NASA that is meant to land on Titan's sea. The probe's name is Oceanus.
Once the probes have properly landed on Kraken Mare, they will begin to collect data intended to answer a number of questions. In particular, determining the composition, viscosity, and salinity of Titan's lakes is a top objective. The nodes will also investigate the formation and extent of waves on its lakes Gathering data over a large area will also allow for a greater understanding of Titan's electromagnetic environment. Finally, biosensors on some Oceanus probes will also search for traces of past or present life in the hydrocarbon lakes, including microbial, methane-based life-forms, which some scientists have theorized may be possible.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
