I've always had grave doubts myself about the fossil-fuel theory of oil. Still, I genuinely don't know either what to make of the abiotic oil theory either. Who knows what the hell is going on deep in the bowels of the planet? For example, geologists are saying that the earth contains vast, ancient oceans of water with extremely odd, slow life forms. That's fascinating!

Maybe oil is formed largely by purely chemical processes, after which it seeps nearer the upper crust and is mixed so much with ancient fossil remains that it *looks* if the oil stemmed from those fossil remains with which to begin. Notwithstanding the jeering and hatred for Thomas Gold amongst allegedly "mainstream" scientists, I'm inclined to continue to reserve judgement.

As for the idiotic notion of anthropogenic global warming — it's sheer bullpuckey. o_o

I thought Gold was vindicated by played out wells showing signs of refilling, which he theorized.
