At any rate, Thomas Gold postulated a biological process whereby methane, which is one carbon and three hydrogens, is eaten by some unknown microorganism in the crust of the Earth, and a byproduct of their lives is actually a variety of hydrocarbons which we call petroleum. Not to nit-pick, but Methane is one carbon and four hydrogen atoms.
