Do you have evidence to support your idea?

One very serious problem I see with this is that the H2 would need O2 to ignite and create water. Current "early Earth" theories assume that the O2 was created by ocean living bacteria. In other words, in order to have the oxygen needed to create such an ignition, you would have to have water first.

That's an intersting idea, just what other chemical did the hydrogen react with and where did it come from?

I think it's from the ocean or outer space
