What is one, single, supposedly strong argument for the existence of dinosaurs? I am not talking an answer like "fossil record" or "oil". I mean one, single well-documented and proven case of a dinosaur bone being found, examined by peers, proven to be the age claimed, and so on ...
The connection between fossil fuels and animals/plants is sort of silly when you really think about it. For instance, why do they find dinosaur bones and million-year old animal bones at depths of a few feet (or often times even exposed to
the air,) yet they dig 4,000-5,000 foot oil wells in order to find these fossil fuels? What's
the process by which masses of dinosaurs and animals and dead plants make their way down to such depths, and yet many others still lie exposed at
the surface? Just something to wonder.
Besides we know from what we see that in most cases bugs break down corpses. That's what they do. Yet somehow millions upon millions of normal bones avoided this fate. In this world of evolution, why did no bugs evolve to take advantage of these unlimited resources of mineral rich bone? They really do everything possible to twist reality around, making us believe their appeals to authority rather than our own eyes, since everything we observe tells us that bio-waste material (corpses and dead plants) tend to be recycled back into
the ecosystem, often even in our lifetimes. Otherwise there'd be corpses of animals and bugs everywhere we look. I'm not saying there are no fossils (since we've all likely gone on school field trips as children and looked and found fossils), but that
the idea that these organisms can even become a great oily slurry 1000s of miles under
the crust maybe seems improbable. It is funny though that some human bones last for a few decades and others are known to last for 4 million years. Just good genes I guess.
What really might oil be but rock+heat+pressure+time? I know that's supposed to be a
dumb, 'Russian' theory but to me, oil is completely renewable. As long as continents and plates shift, there will be oil. After all, new technologies and new reserves continue to out-pace production and demand. Though strangely, they always produce just a little more than
the demand requires.
The peak oil scare is
the same thing as
the human-caused global warming garbage. They've been predicting peak oil for 50 years, but here we are in
the 2010s producing more than ever before. Yet people still believe in peak oil? There never was a risk of peak oil. And, in my opinion, there never will be. We certainly shouldn't be punished for 'polluting'
the world with carbon dioxide, since it's one of
the most basic molecules for all life to exist.
Isn't it possible fossil fuels are just a fabricated market like diamonds are? And both are carbon-based, oddly enough. It’s really no different too than their fear-mongering that we'll run out of water. I mean, they try and tell us we’ll run out of water even while it’s everywhere around us. Think of what lies and fear they could get away with if these unending supplies of water weren't visible and you didn't know how plentiful it actually was. How do we know oil isn't essentially like water? It could exist in oceans below where
the heat and pressure turns
the rocks to liquid, for instance, somewhere between
the molten core and
the rock mantle. This isn't to say of course that some minor reserves of oil come from organic sources.
