There Are No Fossil Fuels

In my opinion, the primary evidence that the commonly taught idea of fossil fuels is incorrect stems from the fact that the earth is NOT billions of years old.  However, things like gold, diamonds, coal, oil, gemstones, natural gas, silicon, lithium, copper and iron were in the earth from the time of creation.  Some call this Mature Universe Theory.  I consider it simply the best way to understand what the Bible teaches us.

Young or old, the earth contains all the resources it has (excepting the occasional meteor impact). That's not really up to debate. Concentration of the these metals and minerals into economic resources for extraction is another matter. Would not a mature creation view essentially say that every copper deposit, gold deposit, lithium deposit was created in place, as-is? But we see the processes that concentrate and create mineral deposits in action today (black and white smokers, hydrothermal activity at Lihir/Ladolam gold deposit).

We see the processes of a tree in place on day three; the growth from a seedling, the formation of the fruit etc.  We see animals fully grown on day six.  We have the Garden of Eden, presumably completed on day six because that's where man was put.  There was no rain prior to the completion of the garden, but there came a mist afterward to water the land.  The hydrologic cycle was intact.  Why would we presume the geology of the earth would be different?  Isotopes and daughter isotopes that would one day fuel the ancient earth crowd would have been there from the beginning as well.  

We can't know the mind of God, but we can know some of His attributes.  One is that He is holy and just.  The reasons He does things as He does are beyond our knowledge.  Perhaps they play into Satan's delusions, but then, testing and tempting man is how the faithless are separated from the faithful.  Satan has created many religions and many heresies.  It isn't to keep faith in God's word, but the reward is worth it.

Underground oil is an interesting topic of which I am not well acquainted. It is indeed a hot issue today that keeps the world going around and destroying the earth per leftists, tree huggers, and Mother Earth worshippers, including the Pope.

We all know scientific explanations, hypotheses, and theories come from Darwinian evolution.

I seem to recall reading something a long time ago. Please correct me if this is inaccurate. Oil wells pumped dry decades ago have refilled themselves over time. I cannot recall the source or prove it, but I seem to recall oil wells in Texas and Oklahoma that were depleted decades ago replenishing themselves.

We have all heard the saying, “Oil does not mix with water.” That design was intentionally created with all the freshwater aquifers and oil and its derivatives underground.

As designed, the earth’s water is cyclic, meaning it stays within our atmosphere through its three stages (water, vapor, ice). It is recycled, and much of the water returns to the oceans by tributaries.

If water is recycled, plants and animals produce carbon, the main ingredient of so-called fossil fuels. Is carbon recycled, sinking, squeezed out, and liquified by pressure?

I feel qualified to speculate on the subject, as I do have initials after my name, Dennis, SR. 😊 LOL

Had a quick look regarding replenishing of wells and I see no indication of that replenishment of "new " oil. Rather, it is more likely that the extraction of the main oil bearing trap is subsequently refilled from other oil bearing strata due to pressure differential.

Also, with the advent of newer methods and technologies such as fracking, formerly producing areas could be revisited to access previously non recoverable resources.

I have a friend who lives on a farm with a crappy well. They have not been able to get more than 3 gallons per hour. That suffices for daily needs, but in peak times the well runs dry and one must wait 90 minutes before the well replenishes.
