No chemicaql process can create oxygen. It has to be present
anyway, perhaps in compound molecules.

If you think no chemical process can create oxygen,

It's not an opinion,. idiot.

can you not ask a tree or any other plant how photosynthesis works.

It doesn't create oxygen; it uses light energy to convert water and
carbon dioxide into carbohydrates and oxygen.

...Even wikipedia can explain it.

Try reading it, then. See if you find the bit about "generating"
oxygen as a by-product. Then look up the word "generate". See
if you can then work out that it doesn't mean "create".





Actually, I rarely use wikipedia myself.
congrats, my either; not a major source.

It's too dumbed down to be a real
source of valid information.
But if you put a plant in an oxygen free sealed enviroment, with only
carbon dioxide. The plant thrives and if you then do a gas
analysis,....you will find oxygen.

oxygen can be trapped on roid rocks, en capsulized; see early
bombardment period, early earth crust formations.




True Enough. As demonstrated by common earth rocks
While the earth is rich in Iron. Most of it found in nature is bound with
oxygen in the form of iron oxide (brown rust).

But the chances of all the earths oxygen coming from asretoids is almost
ZERO








HOW DO IT HAPPEN ??? You ask ?

Try watching an entertaining video,.....

BTW,.....as you will see,...Carbon Dioxide is a good gas to keep
around in the atmoshere, as without it, ALL the plants would die, and
the oxygen breathers would be next.
So **** the global warming nutheads, and let your car idle in the
driveway while you burn up all those hydrocarbons and make a plant
happy today.

I just watched a show called "To the Edge of the Universe",
which began with a trip through the Solar System. One of
the stops was the Moon Triton, which is comparatively huge
and entirely covered by ice. The suggestion was made that
there might be water a mile or so below the surface, and the
implication was that there might be life in that vast ocean,
since water can only exist in a limited temperature range,
aka "The Goldilocks Zone". The reason scientists claim there
is water below the surface are the numerous surface cracks,
which have an uncanny resemblance to the Arctic Ice shelf
during the Spring Thawing of the Arctic. There are
discolorations on the cracks, which scientists claim are cause
by upwelling water, carrying tiny organisms to the surface,
which then freeze there.
Now my question is this: in order for life to exist anywhere in
the Solar System, at least, Oxygen is required. Water contains
diffused Oxygen, but where does it come from on Triton and,
if there is life that actually breathes the stuff, as the scientists
suggest, where does the replacement oxygen come from; after
all, there is no atmosphere and I doubt that any sub-surface
ocean has enough exposure to sunlight, especially a mile down,
to permit a thriving aquatic vegetation to flourish and to
create the necessary replacement oxygen.


Water contains lots of oxygen in its H2O molecule. The hydrogen is easily lost due such processes as interaction with solar radiation. The free hydrogen easily escapes into space, but not so easily the heavier hydrogen. This leaves a surplus of oxygen.
