Methane gas is a byproduct of oil my friend
Methane is not petroleum.
What?
Only in those zones, not the entire surface of the planet, because if that was true? earth would have to be much older than the geological record its carbon dating.

Out in space, the biggest hydrocarbon molecules are amino acids. But here on Earth, those amino acids were able to hook up with each other to make protein molecules. One protein molecule can contain hundreds of amino acids in various combinations. All living cells are made out of those protein molecules, so all living cells are made out of hydrocarbons: your body, fish, sweet potatoes, trees, cheese, seaweed. Anything that was once alive is also made of hydrocarbons, so that also includes things like oil (made out of plants that died billions of years ago), gasoline and plastic (made out of oil), rubber, wood, food, alcohol, and many medicines like antibiotics.
Yes?

Methane is not petroleum.
Can you prove that unequivocally?
I meant radiation dating, not carbon.

Carbon dating is not used for geological purposes. It is used for archaeology and can only be used for periods of about 50,000 years. The Earth is much, much older than that.

Methane isn't even part of petroleum. Carbon and Hydrogen are, sure. Methane is a gas though. That's gas, as in a state of matter. Not gas, as in gasoline.

Please people, don't fall into a sophisme...
Methane is part of petroleum.
Methane is present on other planet,
Therefore, Petroleum exist on other planet.
I do like the idea that petroleum can have an inorganic origin tough...

Then what did this mean?

What methane, and what "it"?

Do you think that the methane has something to do with the fact that it was once organic matter?
