Earth's early atmosphere had abundant oxygen (Talk.Origins)

Claim CB035.1:

Free oxygen is fatal to abiogenesis scenarios such as those that Stanley Miller experimented with. Evidence indicates that the early earth had significant oxygen.

CreationWiki response:

Talk Origins is ignoring the abundant presence of oxygen in the same rocks, which is the basis of the claim; therefore it remains unrefuted. The abundant presence of oxygen in the rocks suggests that they formed rapidly in an oxygen rich atmosphere, as opposed to slowly in oxygen poor atmosphere as thought by Evolutionists.
 * Reference: The creation debate: oxygen -- the deathblow to life?

In 2002, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation claimed they found evidence of the presence of atmospheric oxygen in rocks 2.7 to 3.5 billion years old. 

Another way of looking at this, is that bacteria can get through small cracks and pores in rocks that fish, clams, and other organisms cannot penetrate, so it is no surprise to find only fossil bacteria in deep rock.

This is an excellent example of how the theoretical system being used affects the interpretation of data.
