About 10 years ago I started doing research and found people analyzing old tapped-out wells to surprisingly find more oil. My “smart” liberal friends told me I was an idiot when I told them. Then I started reading how the latest theory was that dead plankton/algae were supplying all that oil. Do you have any calculations regarding plankton and algae or how much would have to produce all the oil?

Here's the problem with what you are saying......As long as an evolutionist has the ability to keep moving the age bar of the earth, all they have to do is make the age of the Earth older and older. They can keep moving the bar to make billions of more years available to have plankton and plants die and pile up to make oil. If you go mow your grass or just cut a tree down, how long does it take to get covered with miles of dirt? Oil is being found in such numbers now that the numbers just don't add up. Oil can be just another resource just like many other non element products. Obviously, gold, iron, copper are elements and can't be created, but combine some elements a certain way and maybe we get more oil.

I have felt that maybe the whole "fossil fuel" theory was wrong since the '70's. If an armadillo dies in the highway, how long does it take to become oil? It never will because in a month it's gone. What type of event would cover the bottom of the ocean with miles deep of dead plankton? If there were such an event, what would cover them up with miles of sediment before they were dispersed in the ocean's food chain?

This cannot even be discussed because you may have to consider a young earth and worldwide flood possibility. Kick it to the curb and start another line of thinking. These are the types of "anomalies" That ID's want to discuss, but aren't able to without being called heretics. If oil is indeed a "fossil fuel", then the worldwide flood scenario is almost a slam dunk. If that is possible, then a young earth is possible. If it was formed this way, then IMHO, peak oil would be a reality and we would be running out already. We are finding more oil every day and more oil in depleted wells. Go figure.

If science is truly unbiased, all theories should see the light of day, including ID. If we can manufacture oil, we will never figure out how to do it if we are stuck on billions and billions of years and dead plankton. Remember, diamonds are carbon that is heated under pressure for millions of years. Today, they are made in milliseconds in labs. Iron hammers have been found in coal seams miles down and supposedly millions of years old.

If oil is truly dead plants, then we should be able to manufacture it with crop residue and grass clippings in a controlled setting. We already can manufacture liquid fuels from nat gas, methane, or coal. Hitler did, why can't we?
