You're a crackpot for asking me if there was algae on Hyperion, and then making the following statement without backing it up, even though I countered it.
There's a lot more evidence there's crude oil on Hyperion, based on observations made from space, than there is evidence of crude oil on Earth based on observations made from the same distance.
It sure does. The source is the Earth.
Sure, you can assume that algae or plants are the only source of oil, but you discredit the ability of the Earth to create in more than one way.
If oil is made by algae, what makes diamonds?
They both start out in roughly the same form and composition.
SteelyTom. You could have found a better (more courteous) way to debate the source of oil. Personal attacks never help and just make the other person unwilling to listen to anything else you say.
Moonman62. If you have an explanation for why oil can ONLY come from a biological source (algae), then why don’t you lay it out?
Your position is locked into OIL ONLY COMES FROM ALGAE.
Remember, our best scientists also insisted, not to long ago in our history, that our Galaxy was the total extent of the Universe.
These were some of our best educated scientists. And they were not just a little wrong, they were way, way wrong.
Yawn.
