 NEWS: Evolutionists have so won the ideological war that oil was created from decaying dinosaur bones and vegetation -- hundreds of millions of years old -- that oil is now called a fossil fuel. But new evidence says they are wrong and that is why some oil fields are now refilling.
This is a personal rant about fossil fuels. Even this dinosauric name irritates me since it implies that oil is a product of hundreds of millions of years of vegetation and animal decay. And of course, this is proof of evolution.
The Methane Myth
Let me explain. Methane is an ordourless gas that is released in the decay of organic material. Oil is a bi-product of Methane and is created when Methane percolating up through the earth’s crust is heated then cooled resulting in the condensation of certain hydrocarbons which produces oil. It is further argued that since oil is a fossil fuel, there is a limited amount and once it’s gone, it is gone.
However, this theory took a major hit on January 14, 2005. That was the day, the Cassini-Huygens probe landed on Titan, a moon of Saturn. When the probe scanned Titan, it found huge quantities of Methane. This was a remarkable discovery because it left one of two options:
-
There was once life on Titan, which the evolutionists would love; or
-
The Methane was created from non-biological sources.
After studying their findings, NASA released a report in December 2005 stating that the Methane on Titan was not biological and was being created through geological processes deep within the interior of the moon. It was a stunning conclusion. (2) However, it was not shocking to Thomas Gold who wrote a book entitled The Deep Hot Biosphere: The Myth of fossil fuels. Based on the fact that Methane could be created from non-biological materials in laboratories, he argued that Methane was being created within the earth’s core and not from organic decay.
Titan was now the proof of his theory.
Refilling oil wells
But curiously, there has been evidence of this non-fossil based methane on earth for some time. Eugene Island -- located in the Gulf of Mexico about 80 miles off the coast of Lousiana -- is the protruding tip of a lare submerged Mountain. Naturally forming vents on the side of this mountain spew out natural gas. There was definitely an energy producing factory somewhere deep below.
Since both natural gas and oil are produced from Methane and are often found together, the search for oil began. In the 1960s, a huge reservoir of oil was discovered near the mountain. This lead to the construction of an oil platform, called Eugene 330 which began pumping out oil in 1970 at the rate of 15,000 barrels of day.
Of course, as the fossil-fuel purists predicted, the field started to run out and oil production declined to 4,000 barrels a day by the 1980s. Then during the 1990s, almost overnight, oil production at the field began to surge and incredibly came back to its original 15,000 barrel a day level.
Of course, this development caught everyone’s attention and eventually led to the equivalent of MRI scan of the reservoir. Through a 3D scan, they discovered oil gushing in from a crack at the bottom of the reservoir. It was coming from deep within the earth’s core and apparently below where methane could be made from organic material.
But this reservoir is not the only one refilling. Other fields are replenishing in the Gulf of Mexico, Uzbekistan and even Alaska. And what about the oil fields in the Middle East which have been producing for past number of decades. Despite minimal discovery of new oil reserves in the area, Middle East nations claim their oil reserves have doubled over the past 20 years. Where is this oil coming from?
The Middle East has more than doubled its reserves in the past 20 years, despite half a century of intense exploitation and relatively few new discoveries. It would take a pretty big pile of dead dinosaurs and prehistoric plants to account for the estimated 660 billion barrels of oil in the region, notes Norman Hyne, a professor at the University of Tulsa in Oklahoma. "Offthe-wall theories often turn out to be right," he says." -- (Cooper, Christopher; "It's No Crude Joke: This Oil Field Grows Even as It's Tapped," Wall Street Journal, April 16, 1999) (1)
Increasing oil consumption, increasing reserves?
In addition, oil companies are now finding oil deposits in bedrock, far below the sedimentary rock where the fossil fuel evolutionist says it was produced from decaying dinosaur bones.
In fact, some suggest that we may have just pricked the surface of the known oil reserves. According to the US Department of Energy there is now 1.28 trillion barrels of proven oil reserves. This means that despite decades of consumption, the amount of oil available for human use is at its highest point in human history.
Environmentalist and massive oil corporations are strange fellows. One claims we are running out of oil allowing the other to jack up the price.
But it is also disturbing the comfortable theories of evolutionists who have used oil as yet another evidence of an old earth and evolution. In fact, if oil is a naturally occurring chemical in the earth’s core, it would appear that God created it for our benefit and use.
