Found a YouTube video (search: "free energy 400 Billion dollar secret") This means oil does replenish itself on the planet, but what could have made all the oil, gas and coal we are presently using? IF oil is a-biotic, then how much waste material was used to produce the billions of gallons we are using now? And how did it all get into those pockets we drill and mine now? Kinda makes you really think! |

I would agree that oil and gas does replenish itself, I just don't think it will happen in any time frame that would be helpful to current humans. I think that during periods of enormous crust upheaval on the Earth's surface, what ever was on the ground was pulled down then rock and other soil was pushed over the top of it. That created a cavity filled with flora and fauna and water. Couple the decomposition of that with tremendous pressure and perhaps even heat and there it is - Oil. I suspect the oil fields we have now tapped are from the age when the Earth split into distinct continents and after that smaller deposits were created from the movement of the glaciers at the end of the ices ages. That's my theory anyway. |

I believe that it is the process of heating the carbon based material, possibly via the earth's magma layer, along with the pressure of the earth and the earth's activity itself that makes the oil. Oil is constantly being replenish, the problem is that is isn't being done as fast as we are using it. |

Totally agree with both acessments. The "free energy" they say they are making costs billions but the process describes exactly what they earth does to make it. But not what its made from. |

I'd say anything and everything that got plowed under - including microrganisms, various bacteria and even virus. I'd think we could come up with a pretty close proximity, at least one that would allow it to be refined into what we now use it for. |

Plowed under? nope, more like washed off the face of the land. |

I still like the theory that as the crust shifted it caused what was on top to be pushed down and covered up with other rock and that is what caused the oil filled cavities. I believe that if it was washed into the cavities by water, matter would not have decomposed to form oil. I suppose you could argue that the water later escaped and left the organic material to decompose, though. |

I suspect, when the massive floods happen (like a Noah thing), then most of what can wash away into the oceans- does. Some places it might get caught up on land and maybe even into crevice. It kinda explains how some coal miners find things like gold chain necklaces, vases and other items embedded in deep coal mines. It also explains why all the main oil finds are off shore. The material washes off shore, develops a crust and sinks miles down as it decays. |

Making oil requires temperature and pressure and the only way that you can get both of those is far under earth. The tectonic plates of the earth move, most of the time slowly and sometimes quickly. I am sure that God had His reasons for this but he didn't share them with me so I won't speak for Him (my geology teacher understood but he was boring so I didn't listen much :-). However, all of this movement creates pressure and couple that with the heat of the magma layer and over time you get oil. I believe (could be wrong) but you need a carbon based organism to make the oil. Only under certain circumstances will this turn to oil, however oil is constantly being replenished slowly. If gold chains etc were found then it was probably when the plates were moving violently (earthquake) and they fell into the space created. This will only happen when you have divergent boundries as a space is created and a new crust is formed. Just my 2 cents. |

Makes perfect sense to me! Say, did we have the same geology teacher?? LOL
