Concerning your faux issue of "Observe the rejection of modern oil exploration techniques", no one rejected any techniques at all. That's mostly because you never described any or gave any references to anything in particular.

I, at least, proposed that with sufficient lawyers you could probably jump a claim, and that would certainly suffice in anybody's book as a modern oil exploration technique.

So far you have not addressed my assertion.

That would seem to square with your (mis)conceptions of oil exploration:

Then there are the petroleum engineers who argue that the existence of any biological fosils in petroleum deposits is coincidental ~ that the petroleum was there since the beginning of the Earth.

The challenge was about how oil companies really go about finding oil ~ and, the answer is, they rely on somebody else's discoveries.

So far you have not addressed my assertion.

Your assertions have already been addressed, and exposed as being midly nutty.
