Tell me then, where does oil come from?

Dinosaurs and other critters???? Show me, without using magic how it could be otherwise.

I only implied that the decay of plant material into oil need not take millions of years.

I think that the universe is about 13 Billion years old. You appear to think it is 6000 years old. I will reduce my estimate to 1 million years and that would mean that you should be able to make oil overnight.


Stay safe; stay armed.

There is far more vegetable matter on earth than animal matter. Thus, I think it reasonable to assume most oil comes from decaying vegetation rather than animals.

However, it is a moot point. Billions of animals died in the flood. That is where oil came from.

Non sequitor. I am not obliged to change my position simply because you changed yours.
