Nonsensical articles selling a fantasy written by people without the vaguest understanding of geology, posted by people that literally believe the theory they're attacking is that "oil comes from dinosaurs." Nobody is finding any oil based on the idea it's being continually produced in the crust - it's being found in or near sedimentary basins that used to be ancient shallow seas or lakes.
that oil is a product of ancient animal or plant life has never been proven.
Something tells me your claim is not based on a careful review of the literature of petroleum geology.
Oil matches the composition of the microscopic diatoms and algae it comes from. Repeatedly demonstrated.
Petroleum: To Be or Not to Be Abiogenic
"Present-day analysis of petroleum systems, when performed integrated with direct geochemistry, remote sense and high resolution geochemistry technology (HRGT), can provide irrefutable proof that 99.99999% of all the oil and gas accumulations found up to know in the planet earth have a biologic origin. The technologies can be so accurate and useful that they can predict pre-drilling insights regarding the quality and potential volumes of hydrocarbons to be found, including deep gas reservoirs, oil versus gas prone areas, degree of oil and gas cracking and of mixture of hydrocarbons derived from different sources, from different petroleum systems."
"With the advances of analytical chemistry, around the fifties, geochemical evidence start to suggest, and latter proved that oils are related to biological precursors (Forsman and Hunt, 1958; Eglinton and Calvin, 1967 and Tissot, 1969). In the late seventies Albrecht, Seifert, Moldowan and Maxwell performed numbered studies that definitively proved the relationship between hydrocarbons and their putative biological precursor, burying the abiogenic hypothesis forever."
"The application of high resolution biomarker technologies using GC-MS, GC-MS-MS, Diamondoids, CSIA-B and CSIA-D methods, integrated with detailed geological and paleontology cal characterization, provide scientific evidence that that oils can be attributed to organic-rich sedimentary rocks of specific geological age and depositional environments."
Who are you trying to fool, Thomas Gold doesn't know anything about geology?? Really?
Adjust to The Reality
"The study also confirmed a major argument of Cornell University physicist Thomas Gold, who argued in his book "The Deep Hot Biosphere: The Myth of Fossil Fuels" that micro-organisms found in oil might have come from the mantle of the earth where, absent photosynthesis, the micro-organisms feed on hydrocarbons arising from the earth's mantle in the dark depths of the ocean floors."

LOL. It sure didn't take long enough for people to show up and reveal their ignorance by posting about the alleged production of oil by "dinosaurs." You're right, of course.
I’d like someone to explain how that biologic mass got 5 miles down.
Good post.
