Thats a Geocities site :bugeye:
Also there are may theories that life did not need a electric shock to produce the complex organics need to start it... in fact one states heat from thermal vents under a ocean!

This just means that Europa has two different ways for life to get started. With the combination of the thermal vents in our oceans and gravitational stress cracking and warming Europa, I'd be surprised to not find something. And this would provide aan alternate introduction of life.
We won't know until we get a probe there, under the ice.

Maybe not we might be able to pull frozen critters right off from the surface. There probably is a lot of water that came up through the cracks from the oceans below so some of the ice on the surface would have life from the oceans below in it. The surface and a couple of meters down though has been exposed to Jupiter’s intense radiation: some digging is required to get viable samples, but just a few meters below would give a yes or no answer about there being life down there.
