I sure wish we would stop calling these “fossil fuels” ... they are not.

Thank you! I was just about to write the same thing.

In the USA we use 21 million barrels of oil each and every day. A barrel is like 42 gallons.

There is no way that many dinosaurs or plants lived and died to create that oil. Also some oil is found three miles BELOW the Gulf of Mexico. So, the surface of the earth increased three or four miles and the diameter got bigger? And how and when did that happen?

Like global warming, the myth of how "fossil fuels" came to be is such baloney.

Do you understand what sedimentary rock and a sedimentary basin is?

It isn’t even layers placed all over the earth. The erosion that occurs on land is carried down rivers and deposited in a few locations. The entire earth isn’t covered in Mississippi Rivers. But at that delta, it certainly is building up.

A tiny amount like one inch every thousand years is over six miles deep over 400 million years.
