Oil formation
From CreationWiki, the encyclopedia of creation science
It is commonly taught that oil takes millions of years to form, and bio mass was the main source for the oil deposits that currently exist.[1]

The 100s of millions of years claim
So upon science making such claims, were any tests ever conducted to confirm such claims? There is not one. So they set themselves up to be corrected if they are found wrong. But because this claim is one of the main foundations of evolution, and old earth theory, the claim will not go down without a fight. Why? Because one of evolution's main icons, that draws men, women and children of all ages to it, is the dinosaur. Basically you cannot read much of anything about evolution without also reading, or seeing pictures about dinosaurs. Even the Fossil Fuels link includes a dinosaur in its first picture, implying that oil came from dead decayed dinosaurs from 300 million years ago, even though the text explains that it also came from plants as well.
What are the conditions that science could have tested in a lab?
When oil is drilled for, and found. Both the temperature and pressure of the well can be determined. Oil in the ground is found at temperatures around 400 degree F. And the pressure can range 3,000-30,000 psi. Both conditions can be repeated in a lab. But neither were. Or at least no such test was ever recorded and reported. So what would have science found if they would have duplicated such tests to see?
Man can make oil quickly
Oil is made in less than three hours when conditions are nearly duplicated
Brian Appel, CEO of Changing World Technologies [2] duplicated the conditions found in the ground, and made oil in less than 3 hours. He also tweaked this technology and found that if you apply pressure and heat twice (first lower then higher pressure), you get a much better grade of oil that is ready to burn as diesel fuel (AKA bio-diesel[3]) right out of the machine that is used to make this oil. The advantage of this is that this product can pass the oil refinery stage [4] and go straight to market. Bypassing this stage means that more oil refineries will not be needed to refine oil to be used. Upon making this new technology work, current refineries can be shut down for much needed repairs, and upgrades without affecting the price of fuels that are currently in use.
What is the response from evolutionists to Brian Appel's efforts?
Paul Palmer, Ph.D., Physical Chemistry, Yale 1973 [5] Says that Brian Appel claims are bogus, and Appel is a snake oil sales man. Here again did Palmer, like science in general, test this before making such a comment or claim? Nope. So he sets himself up to be proven wrong. And he has been proven wrong. A plant is already up and running [6]. And is producing what Palmer said could not be done.
What are the conditions used to make this fast production oil?
The plant being used is currently using chicken and turkey processing waste [7] that otherwise would have to be disposed of. Other waste sources[8] such as sewage, garbage, tires, etc... are on the menu for future experiments. Imagine all of our waste production made into oil for energy instead of pollution.
Conditions found in nature vs. fast production oil
| Nature | Fast oil | Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Heat: 400 degrees F | Heat: 500-1000 degrees F (heated twice) | 100-600 degrees F |
| Pressure: 3,000-30,000 psi (up to 2000 atmospheres) | Pressure: 715 psi (50 atmospheres) | 2,285-29,285 psi |
| Time: Up to 300 million years (unconfirmed) | Time: 3 hours (confirmed) | One assumed, one confirmed |
| Substance: Dead dinosaurs and plants. | Substance: Turkey and chicken guts | Not much |
Oil is being made everyday naturally
Exxon researchers find that water acts as a essential part in the formation of oil
Researchers at Exxon oil found that super heated water under high pressures acts as an essential part in the formation of oil. This super heated water had a source rock sample during tests. After the experiment was over, there was a layer of oil found floating on top of the water. This proves there is a condition that oil can be made fast in the earth with water that is under high pressure, and high heat. Much like the black smokers that exist in deep waters. Ref: Water Water Every where. Nature magazine 0028-0836 CODEN NATUAS 1998, vol. 391, no6663, pp. 164-166 (29 ref.).
Black smokers make oil in Gulf of California Guaymas Basin
- How deep: 6000 feet plus.
- Pressure: 60 atmospheres (1800inHg or 840 psi).
- Temperature: 300-350°C. or 572-662°F
- Objects present: Water, black smoker, organic sediments, green algae.
- Process name: hydrothermal oil.

Age of biomass affects the age of the newly formed oil
The hydrothermal oil discussed above is made from sediments that date much older. Even though researchers can take samples of newly formed oil from the hydrothermal oil process, they are dating it to 4240 years old. Please note that new oil is dated to over 4,000 year old.
Geologists maintain that most of the oil they pump out of the ground was formed tens and hundreds of millions of years ago from biological debris. But in the Guaymas Basin, in the Gulf of California, the oil seeping out of the sediments is only 4240 years old! Actually, it could be even 500-3,000 years younger than that for two reasons: (1) The organic debris that was C-14-dated may have taken many years to become incorporated in the sediments; and (2) The dating may be skewed by older material in the sediments. By subtraction, the oil might be as young as 1240 years! The picture geologists draw of the Guaymas Basin is that of a spreading center covered by perhaps a half kilometer of sediments. Spewing up from the spreading center is hot water at 300-350°C, which "cracks" the organic material in the sediments, converting it into petroleum only 10-30 meters below the sea floor.

Oil conditions and the global flood
A global flood to the highest mountain and the deepest sea, would have water at least 12 plus miles deep. According to scuba diving books, every 33 feet you descend in water equals one more atmosphere. [11] 1 Atmosphere equals 14.7 psi at sea level.
There are 5,280 feet in a mile. 5,280 times 12 (the least amount of depth of the global flood to cover the highest mountain. No one knows how far above the mountain the water went.) 5280 x 12 = 63360 feet. 63360 feet divided by 33 equals 1920 atmospheres. 1920 x 14.7 = 28,216.20 psi. This is near the same pressures that the highest pressure oil wells are found. Around 3/4 of a mile more and you would get 30,000 psi (highest pressure oil wells). So the pressures caused by the flood almost match the highest pressure oil wells. So if one were to allow for slight change in pressure over the years, it would not be hard to imagine that these same pressures were left by the flood.
Here is a flash movie that better explains this: Flood and oil psi relation to global flood.
Remember, this only considers water as a mechanism to provide pressure. Plate movement and soil displacements alone would produce the same pressures. But it is intriguing to find a close similarity in the pressure created by the flood (28,000 psi), and the highest pressure of oil deposits today (30,000 psi).
Also, water plays a critical role in the development of oil.(Lewan 1074:46)
What questions does this answer?
- How the earth can be 6,000 years old and have vast oil deposits.
- How Human footprints have been found with dinosaur tracks at Paluxy. Because dinosaurs lived within the last 6,000 years.
- How evolutionists will make unconfirmed assumptions to support an unprovable theory. And will ignore the evidence shown here.
- How the oil deposits are still under extreme pressures even though there are problems with natural seeps. This is because it has been only thousands of years, not a few 100 million years.
- How the high pressure oil wells can almost match the pressure found at the bottom of the deepest ocean during the flood (less than a 2,000 psi difference)

Side note: Evolutionists have used the assumption that oil takes millions of years to form to discredit not only a young earth, but also any evidence found that supports that man and dinosaurs coexisted at one time. Their unconfirmed assumptions, debunked by science itself, and by current modern technology. Means they should un-debunk this creation evidence. But science will never do this even though the evidence above demands it. |
