Uh, I don’t think that is the case.
I know that coal is the result of large trees that fell during the Carbonaceous period and were buried by natural soil action. Since the bacteria that causes the rotting of wood hadn’t evolved then, these trees piled up upon one another, eventually became covered with soil, then metamorphosed through heat and pressure to become coal.
As for petroleum, long before animals as we know them came upon the earth or swam in the seas, the oceans had life in the forms of simple algae. ( Fossilized algae have been discovered in rockes older than 500 Million years old.)
This algae bloomed throughout most of the world’s oceans and was the source of the oxygen we breathe. When algae died it sank to the sea floor and piled up. This accumulation of dead biomass from millions of years of accumulation eventually became petroleum.
Uh, I don’t think that is the case.
how ever, What is the sun burning on? and what was saturn burning on before it started cooling off,
I have a lot of respect for the here and now scientists but i am Leary of the ones who think they can see in the past for millions of years by doing thousands of tests , each test depending on every other test, one test being wrong every thing is wrong.
At any rate i will not argue about the coal, because i do not know how deep they find coal, or anything else about it for that matter, but i will stick to my guns about my belief of oil not being a fossil fuel.
