How can one explain the relationship between time, organic matter, pressure, and oil reserves?

I have wondered about how all this works. My questions were -- 1) With all the billions and billions of barrels of oil buried underground, have there ever been, throughout the millions of year of earth history, enough living plant and animal matter to account for all that oil 2) Almost all the oil reserves are EXTREMELY deeply buried within the earth. How would it have been possible for that much plant and animal matter to have been deposited so deeply?





I asked this question of a geologist once. He looked at me and said 1) No. There has not been enough plant and animal matter present over these millions of years to account for the amount of oil we have used and are still in reserve. 2) It cannot be explained how all these reserves got so deeply buried.





So I asked him, ';so how do you explain all this?'; He said he believed that the world was created by God WITH THESE RESERVES ALREADY BURIED DEEPLY WITHIN THE EARTH! God knew that as our knowledge increased throughout the history of the world that we would need varying sources of energy to use as our technology became more sophisticated.





He believes that if the world continues to exist into the next thousand years, that God has already put in place the next form of energy that we will ';discover'; how to harness.





So he actually believes that the theory of oil being created by decomposition and pressure of organic material cannot fully explain the oil reserves we have and their location. Interesting, huh?How can one explain the relationship between time, organic matter, pressure, and oil reserves?
Any science/scientist that formulates a hypotheses based on the first step being ';God did it'; isn't science, because that answers nothing. Then where did god come from?How can one explain the relationship between time, organic matter, pressure, and oil reserves?
So what? Not all scientists are Atheists, just most of them.





However, he's a geologist, which means he deals with rocks, not plants.

That link will explain petro to you.
Interesting? No.





Another illustration of the stupidity of some people? Yes.
