Please, that ridiculous theory by Thomas Gold has been posted here regularly since this forum's inception. It's not true.
Okay, then how are the Russians getting oil out of wells almost 42,000 feet deep. Really, I want to know. Thomas Gold may be a loony toon, but he is not the ONLY proponent of the theory. All the antagonists to the theory have a vested interest in it being incorrect; kinda like the DeBeers folks and those “scarce” diamonds in the bottomless Kimberlite formation.
