[The Truth Will Make You Free]

Fascinating article. The theory that oil is the product result of ancient decayed organic matter has serious problems. Just a few... How could so much organic matter gather in one place before being decomposed? How come scientists can't make oil from organic material by subjecting it to heat and pressure? This man has shaken off the preconceptions of a believed theory and developed one that fits experience better. Rather than adjusting facts to support the theory, he changes the theory to support the facts.

I agree. The theory doesn't make sense.

The search for truth is not achieved by replacing incorrect theories with correct ones; it's done by replacing incorrect theories with new ones that are more subtly wrong.
