Sorry, I probably wasn't clear enough with the Methane. My point is this.
If Methane comes, only from living oganisms, then Millers experiment requires the pre-existence of life in order for the experiment to work in the first place.


Methane is a really simple chemical molecule made of carbon and hydrogen. Ch4. Where there is carbon and hydrogen there is also methane around. As a proof that it doesn't just need life to produce methane, methane can be found in our solar system. At the Saturn moon Titan for example. And this moon surely doesn't have life. Much too cold. But okay, maybe this moon also doesn't exist. Or the measurement was wrong. Or i just tell you a fairytale here. Nothing's for sure smile
