If there is simple life on Titan and Enceladus, there is every possibility it could have been seeded from Earth. Plenty of asteroid collisions have been big enough to eject material from Earth's surface into space over the last few billion years. Though that idea suggests something else. Maybe Earth's life was seeded from elsewhere. Such ejecta dust also travels all around the galaxy from other stars and their planetary systems.
