So you put up a thread and when you don't get an immediate reply, you complain not just here but elsewhere? Nice. Here is an accessible article about the oil formed by hydrothermal processes in Guaymas Basin. Of note: From laboratory experiments, scientists know that oil forms fastest when buried organic molecules cook at high temperatures. Didyk and Simoneit suggest the Guaymas oil develops so quickly because hydrothermal-vent fluids percolate up through a thick blanket of sediments and alter the buried organic molecules. These fluids can reach temperatures of 350[degrees]C.
Conventional theories hold that oil reservoirs form only in quiet, stable basins where sediments can accumulate over millions of years. But Didyk and Simoneit propose that reservoirs may develop in areas where thermal activity has heated sediments and formed oil over thousands of years. Now all you need to do is prove that all of the oil reserves in the world were formed by this very process -- that it was all the result of hydrothermal vent activity. You will need to explain how other known processes of oil formation are impossible. It's sort of like claiming that because catastroiphic flooding occurs in some places in the world at different points in time, therefore we must conclude that there must have been a global catastrophic flood. See the fault in the logic? Can you show us how all the oil in the world formed only through the hydrothermal process discovered in Guaymas Bay? You did say you were very keen to present more evidence here.
