There was a post earlier this week discussing oil being constantly produced in the earth.
Made me think of exodus 17:6. ‘and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink.
Didn’t see anyone mention it yet

Oil definitely comes from decayed organic material that has found it’s way miles into the earths crust in some instances…… once you say that three times it starts to sound ridiculous.
Agreed. The problem is that there are two sources of "fossil" fuels:
The second source is a mechanism where vast amounts of hydrocarbon gas trapped inside the Earth (under enormous pressure) finds a path to get to the surface.
The outgassing is the origin for most natural gas and oil deposits. You can think of oil as condensed natural gas. It is no coincidence that the major deposits are always found along current or previous rift zones, where tectonic plates are moving apart... creating a path for the trapped hydrocarbons to get to the surface.
Once you understand the two sources, and the attempt to trick people into thinking there is only one source (ancient sediments - in order to pretend there is scarcity), then you finally understand that the supply of hydrocarbon fuels is almost infinite from our human perspective.
This is what President Trump was referring to...
Thanks for the reply, good stuff in there!
A post earlier this week discussed the earth constantly producing oil. First thought of Exodus 17:6 and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink.
Talk about tapping a keg!
Oil is produced by the earth's core.
Oil is produced daily underground....It is not fossil based and limited in amount. If man was intended to live on Earth forever why would resources not also last that long?
This isn’t anything new. The earth producing oil has been around for decades. The term “fossil fuel” and the idea oil came from dinosaurs was pushed in the early 1900s and became the myth that won’t go away since it’s now political.
Someone downvoted you for actually getting it. All fixed. Also, your DV needs to read more.
At this point in time I'd say your take is pretty spot on.
I worked in the oil industry for forty plus years. I have seen wells and oil and gas formations depleted. Going back into those reservoirs that have lost pressure with new well bores can give some temporary production from being in an area of the rock that has not been completely drained, but very rarely do those new wells produce at the volumes of the originals, and they also do not last as long as the originals. Most of the time the new drills are as big a dud as the old wells because the old wells have already drained the liquids and the pressure cap off that reservoir.
The new technology of directional drilling coupled with new fracking technology has opened up many reservoirs that were not profittable in the past due to the density of the rock in the formation not allowing the free flow of oil, gas, and water. This fact is the reason the environmentalists (another cabal 'ism') were on the attack against fracking.
