Hydrogen is the common common element in the universe. Carbon is the 4th. They have a ready affinity for each other and combine into chains of different lengths.
It’s semi retarded to decide that oil and gas can only be formed from dinosaurs.
I never believed that. I always believed it was indeed water draining down into the earth and being cooked. I started believing after stories emerged in the early 80s from texas oil fields that said depleted wells they thought were dead/empty were infact completely full and some were actually over flowing.
“It’s semi retarded to decide that oil and gas can only be formed from dinosaurs.”
Would use unscientific rather than semi-retarded, but you are right. Methane exists in abundance naturally in our own solar system on the moons of other planets where there were never any dinosaurs or life as we know it. There’s no reason why earth didn’t share in this abundance.
I think it is fully retarded to think the crude that deep in the ground came from dinosaurs congregating on the surface, and then draining into the lower depths.
And it approaches super semi retarded to conclude dinosaurs existed in numbers sufficient to form roughly 80m barrels of oil/day (worldwide crude oil production).
