I’m not convinced that the Soviet Abiotic Theory of Hydrocarbons is false.
Why else would petroleum reserves continue to be discovered? I mean, there’s only so much decayed plant and animal matter to cause it.
We also know that hydrocarbons exist in space and other planets, so how did they get there?
Yet I’m supposed to believe the Peak Oil crowd, which says its garbage, even though we’ve run out of oil 0 of the past 9 times they said we would.

Cosmic bolides, i.e. comets and asteroids or rather chunks of comets (which can be asteroids) do contain hydrocarbons as well as all sorts of rare metals as well as the stuff of life. What is it called panspermia? I do believe that life originated here on earth from the heavens above. As for Abiotic oil? It could very well be so.
For an interesting podcast go to Joe Rogan either through iTunes or Joe Rogan’s website and get yesterdays podcast #872? with Randall Carlson and Graham Hancock for an illuminating discussion of North American and how it was the epicenter for the end of the last Ice Age due to Cosmic impacts. It will add to your thinking about the subject. Note: Also available on youtube which might be worthwhile because Randall Carlson displays excellent pictures to illustrate the massive tsumanis that swept the N.A. continent.
