Default Re: A deep thought regarding life out there

Now this may not be scientificly correct (don't rightly know) but aren't most atmospheres made up of percentages of different types of gasses?? I seem to remember most trek shows on hostile worlds (ahh, the science of those raised on T.V. ) being hostile because the oxygen was way below par for earthers, and carbon dioxide etc was too high. Now what would happen if a match was lit on a 80% methane world (with 15% oxy and 5% carbon) ?? Would this be a qualified BOOM?
Just thoughts......
