Abiogenic oil theory
Posted: Mon 13 Apr 2009, 09:12:43
I'm interested in finding credible and scientific refutation of Thomas Gold's premise put forth in the book "Deep hot Biosphere". Specifically I'm interested in the chemistry behind why this theory does/does not have credence over the normally accepted one of plankton and plant material finding the right conditions for oil genesis.
I have worked under the assumption for quite some time that oil's origins were fairly well understood and accepted. I'm learning that this may not be the case and have a debate with a "freind" going on currently concerning abiogenic theory.
Any links or insight into refutation of the abiotic theory would be apreciated.
