One of the leading sources of oil for this country is Lousisana and the Gulf just offshore from such. All of those deposits were laid down by the Mississippi after the Cretaceous impact. It is far more likely that the oil we produce from those formations is from organic deposits laid down from millions of years of fluvial deposition.
I am not averse to alternative theories of where petroleum comes from. But they need to do a better job than this.

I just wish that 'scientists' would admit that they have no idea where crude oil comes from or exactly how much there is on Earth.
It would be so refreshing.

Did all the dinosaurs in the world herd themselves to the middle east and die there? Oil as a finite product was first introduced as propaganda in the middle of the last century by the big oil companies. So that the public mind would think that we would run out of it and that it would become more and more costly due to it being finite.
