On a scale from 1-10, what is your confidence that Oil/Petroleum is indeed of fossil origin i.e. dinosaur juice?

[Anonymous No.15355768]

I thought it was mostly plant matter and microbes

1. It's very unlikely to be of fossil origin.

trees evolvee before the fungi and bacteria that could break them down so they just accumulated in vast quantities and got buried underground for a very long time and then fungi evolved and the mass tree burial ceased

Oil and gas occur at depths which do not correspond with strata of those eras, debunking the concept entirely.

You're thinking of coal. Oil is largely plankton.

Biotic oil theory is a scam propped up by the oil companies to create artificial scarcity.

That's not true vertical depth, retard.

why don't conspiracy theorists ever look up what they're claiming to check if they're wrong

I dont deny that it can come from dinosaur juice,
but i'm quite confidant that most oil is abiotic in nature

if oil production production requires superfluid solvents to extract it naturally from the source material and the high pressure conditions required for that extraction only occur at tremendous depths, then whats more likely, a biological source or a geological source?
how does dead dinosaur end up 10km or more beneath the earth? it fell into a deep ocean trench and got buried by an avalanche? how many times would that stroke of luck need to recur to make the amount of oil thats drilled?

I'd wager as well they'll find it much deeper as well, constrained only by a lack of technology to drill that deep

Because the climate hoax conspiracy is so heavily promoted by the news media, which tells you not to check anything.

They'll say they drilled ten miles deep but most of the time the true vertical depth is a lot less. Also because oil is a liquid it will seep though the soil and might be able to go fairly far over tens of millions of years

I don't know if that's a joke but it's usually fairly easy to find non mainstream sources or even just look at the actual research

Geology does not create organic chains like benzene without biological matter. The origin of all fossil fuels is biological.

Saturn has benzine, its also commonly found in proto star forming nebulae. Just because it can be create in organic processes doesn't mean thats the only way it ever happens. Its a really common, simple carbon ring molecule, just like ethanol.
