Finding an Earth-like home


Scientists are speculating (or hoping) that life could exist in Saturn's Titan moon. Its unique features could support some forms of life, or if not - its 'pre-biotic soup' could be a starting point of life. It's bigger than our moon (but smaller than Earth) - it's terrestial, it has stable liquid hydrocarbon surface -> and as scientists know, an ingredient to forming, if not supporting life.
Titan is like Earth a billion years back. Can we expedite its transformation process? Can we wait for another million or even billion years?
