 @6a018a2a I dont know much about oil, but I have been skeptical of the fossil fuel theory for some time.  There is so much oil and coal  and natural gas, it doesn't seem possible to have produced it by compressing decayed organic matter.  The billions of barrels that have been produced would take trillions and trillions of tons of organic mater. 
 @48bfa577 Agreed!!! 
 @6a018a2a i should have mentioned that this doesn't stop me from telling my MIL how close she is to becoming a tank of gas.
