Agree... NO, it is not a stupid thing to say. It's something one would say if they were to....oh....educate themselves. taken from live science.... [link to www.livescience.com] But with gas prices spiking more than $1 per gallon in the United States this year and some experts predicting that the end of oil is near, scientists still don't know for sure where oil comes from, how long it took to make, or how much there is. A so-called fossil fuel, petroleum is believed by most scientists to be the transformed remains of long dead organisms. The majority of petroleum is thought to come from the fossils of plants and tiny marine organisms. Larger animals might contribute to the mix as well. Looks like all that education the scientists have really helped out in determining how oil is formed. Last Edited by Zedakah on 05/08/2010 04:17 PM |

Hey, just a question here... You DO know that the theory has plants as the primary source of oil, not dinosaurs, right? Because if you don't know that, then your theory makes much more sense. If you have to look at the situation as being due to plant matter, of which there has always been so much more, then it becomes harder to defend. Still, the people to ask on this are not GLP'ers but Geologists. What do they think is going on with all this oil? They may not be right, but they are the ones that have studied it in depth and have to back their theories up, right? |

Quoting: Sinanju2And NOW we are being told that the oil spill will cover the entire Gulf of Mexico in less than 4 months... The QUESTION is... WHERE did all this oil come from? How many dinosaurs does it take to produce enough oil to cover the entire Gulf of Mexico in less time than it takes to conclude a court case? C'mon. You're smart enough to know about the theory of abiotic oil production! |
