No, you don't. All you need is a source of oxygen. The most likely source in a reductive atmosphere is...
c'mon Rip, show us your impressive knowledge of o-chem. Same with you LMK.
I'll give you several choices. Tell me which one is a likely source of oxygen in a reductive atmosphere and why:
A) Thioesters, R-SOO-R
B) Carboxylic acid, R-COOH
C) Elemental Oxygen, O2
D) Ketones and aldehydes, R-(C=O)-R and R-(C=O)-H
E) Epoxides, R-CO-R in sp3 bound rings
F) Phenols, RB-OH
G) Common non-terminal alcohols, R-(OH)-R
H) Terminal alcohols, R-OH (EtOH)
G) Acetone, HCOH
All of those contain oxygen that can be released and then ionized to O3. Some would readily do so in a reductive atmosphere.
So impress us all with your profound chemical knowledge.
Those of us with actual degrees in science (I, myself, am now in medical school) want to see if you really know your stuff or not.
So prove us wrong!
Still waiting for a mechanism for generating O2 in a reductive enviornment from the organic cmpds listed above.
He just did. There's a difference between having faith and being blind.
Besides. Ireally dont see your point. Even if there are points of evolution that aren't completely worked out yet, that doesnt disprove it. That's why scientists are still studying it. After all in Quantum mechancis, they're are plenty of phenomona that we cant explain yet. But that doesnt disprove QM. Same with Evolution, there is (contrary to what you posted in another thread) much evidence supporting it. That is why it is still around after all these years. There is no proof supporting ID other than some references to studies that make broad unsupported assumptions on the physical universe to attempt to show that the statistical prob of life evoloving to its curent state is slim. And then from that, they make the huge leap to the existense of an intelligent designer, which there is no evidence of.
