Re: Oil and Coal Formation

Obviously, your knowledge of organic chemistry is somewhat limited.

Everybody's knowledge is limited.


Ever heard of Hydrolysis or hydrous pyrolysis?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrous_pyrolysis (snip)

That might account for the lighter hydrocarbons, but not the C-18+
organic molecules that constitute the greater portion of most crude
oils. That would require the mysterious coincidence of non-ester chain
polymerization of monocarboxylic acids coupled with the disappearance
of those reactive groups.

Your other quotes do not support your argument, they confound it by
hypothesizing the breakdown of very high molecular weight organic
structures such as keragen into smaller ones such as those found in
crude oil, rather than progressing upward from your fanciful hamburger
grease/crude oil synthesis. Nice try, but you still lose this
