I suggested to a Canadian oil company geologist that it was profoundly unlikely that dead plants and animals formed the massive amounts of crude oil and natural gas found worldwide under miles of shale and oceans and lakes.
"Find me one place on earth where such accumulations of dead organisms are compressing," I said. "Bacteria eat them."
He said that there is a great deal of confusion over the origins of mineral deposits for just those reasons.
God put them there, somehow. And we have only about 40 years left of crude oil, so that is His timetable, I submit to you.
He knew how much we would need.
