But that there is the possibility of abiotic hydrocarbons on other celestial objects doesn't necessarily inform the processes on Earth.


Right. It just suggest that the physical process is possible.

If the abiotic creation of hydrocarbons is being created 50 miles below our feet, 1.) we cannot physically witness it and to 2.) we do not have the materials to physically duplicate the process. The pressures and temperatures are too high.

Why is this important? Or rather, describe for me the process at the molecular level. How can we make the distinction between abiotic versus biotic origins? What would we look for as byproducts?
