If methane gas was always the product of biological matter, then detecting methane in the atmosphere of another planet would be a sure sign that some sort of life form had existed there at some point, said geologist Barbara Sherwood Lollar of the University of Toronto.

Now there's a stretch.

I have often said that if oil was from organic matter only, then why do we find it as much as 20 miles deep? Oil is everywhere, on land and the oceans. It is almost always found in rock formations. The dead and dying organic stuff would have to make its way down 20 miles through solid rock?

Naaaah! We're still guessing.
