Seems to me there could be at least another explanation or two for the tiny fossils being in said oil.

Regardless, we have more than enough for 400+ years EVEN IF the globalists weren’t killing us off in droves and our needs were expanding somewhat geometrically.

The only problem is that there are tiny fossils in oil that shows that petroleum is biologically-based.

All that really shows is that tiny animals got into the oil...

I don’t really see this one as catastrophism. Petroleum and natural gas appear to be a normal part of the planet’s body chemistry. Even if Velikovsky was right about hydrocarbons raining on the planet on one or two occasions, the bulk of it appears to be home grown.

Still worth knowing about.
