high concentrations of it makes nearly anything in its presence catch fire.
The Bible attributes the same property to the abrahamic god. Maybe someone confused oxygen with a deity?
I saw an article a while back talking about how Yahweh was originally a volcano god. A lot of interesting comparisons- like pillar of fire, lightning, dark clouds…
Maybe but it seems unlikely that people 2000+ years ago would have a way to refine pure oxygen.
I don't think oxygen makes stuff auto-combust. It's very flammable and might corrode stuff, but still needs a flame.
Increased presence of oxygen does lower the auto ignition temperature, for some substances to room temperature, so, yes and no I guess.
Right on. I know that I don't know much chemistry.
