Would not tons of vegetation being buried under mud and rocks produce oil?

No, not even over millions of years, certainly not a few thousand. Further, you have figured out how to make oil out of lettuce? More BS.

Tell me then, where does oil come from? If you say decaying vegetation, then to be consistent, your own answer is also BS.

If I bring you a cabbage would you turn it in to oil for me? I need it tomorrow as my Maxima is about a half quart low.

You're beating a straw man. I never said that I could make oil out of cabbage by tomorrow. I only implied that the decay of plant material into oil need not take millions of years.

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

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.
