You should really research logic. Straw man are only one type of logical fallacies.

Unless you understand logic, finding the truth is like a blind man stumbling around. Each person has his own set of biases, and to really learn something require being objecting.

Straw man arguments illustrate bias (they essentially put forward a supposition that nobody is arguing with that in reality are not germane to the question at hand)

Of course nobody believes there is a infinite supply of anything. What is at questoin is are we in “Peak Oil”.

Read the book “Deep hot biosphere” and get back to us. (you can get it on amazon for 9-10$).

Given our current increase in reserves vs our “burn rate” and the theory that there IS reformation deep in the earth, if our “burn rate” is < production rate, we could literally burn oil for BILLIONS of years.

Jimmy Carter in the first oil crisis (76) told us that we were at peak oil.....

How foolish is the public? Bad science allows them to manipulate the price....

Wow. You are proving that my new definition of infinity was spot-on.

Thank you, oh wise child, for enlightening me in logic and now, what a straw man is. I could never have understood the concepts without the majesty of your cutting comments. I am humbled and submit to your mastery. Now, excuse me while I go back to preparing a brief responding to an appeal of a trial I won, in which facts and legal issues are laid out logically and persuasively, in the manner of my 3 decades of experience, following a Jesuit education that did in fact include logic at institutions to which you would never, in a million years, (i.e., infinity) be admitted.
