It the decay of the fossils that turns to oil... You can't get grease out of raw ground beef until you heat it up.Beeker said:How do they explain so many fossils with no oil around them?...

Nobody said 'well that is just a theory'. I said its not the opinion of the scientific community. And oil comes from organic material, not really 'dead animals' but decaying plants. Fossils are extremely rare in any case, we dont find many of them at all.Beeker said:How do they explain so many fossils with no oil around them? How do they explain not finding any fossils in the oil? They talk about their theory as if it is a proven fact but when people mention other theories, they always say, "well that is just a theory." Interesting, eh?
I disagree with you on how proven this is, but like happychem asked, how do you get an organic substance from a non-organic process? There needs to be organic matter involved in there somewhere. Perhaps it means their is life deep within the earth's core.125gJoe said:My point is, that it can be proven that there's oil deep down, well beyond the dino "fossils". Which makes fossil fuel, our limited supply, a total myth!
Little kids can go to Arizona and break rocks and find millions of trilobites in one little mine. Just go there and rent a bucket and a pick and you can sit there all day and collect fossils.slipknottin said:Nobody said 'well that is just a theory'.

Um, Alaska is cold on the surface and the ocean is cold in its depths but the oil doesn't exactly come from there. Hundreds of feet under ground where the oil sits its a tad warmer. Pressures can also produce that heat.Beeker said:Also, if oil comes from decaying organic matter that has been exposed to heat, how is it that there is so much oil in Alaska and under the ocean, which happen to be very cold places?
deep down in earth it is very hot, regardless of where in the world you are.Beeker said:Also, if oil comes from decaying organic matter that has been exposed to heat, how is it that there is so much oil in Alaska and under the ocean, which happen to be very cold places?
They use methane.Don't forget that synthetic oil does not come from decaying organic matter.
10' underground anywhere in the world it is about 55 degrees. As you go further down it gets dramatically hotter quite quickly.Beeker said:The oil we are drilling is not that deep down. :duh:
The position of the continents now is not in relation to the position of the continents eons ago. Continental drift has slowly and over time, moved the major land masses of the earth to different areas of the planet.Beeker said:Also, if oil comes from decaying organic matter that has been exposed to heat, how is it that there is so much oil in Alaska and under the ocean, which happen to be very cold places?
