Creation Science Notes...This page is reserved for brief, easy to read scientific studies. I will change them as time allows me. Please be patient as I prefer to exhaustively and meticulously research each note before posting it. New information comes up almost daily so it's hard to keep up. You can look through
previous notes here , listed by date and order of appearance. By all means, feel free to send me a question or request a study
on a certain subject and I will attempt to include it in these notes here.  How long has oil been around? It's been suggested millions of years! However, let's drill for some oil. What's the first thing that happens when you strike oil? It comes shooting up out of the ground, right? Under tremendous pressures at that. Yet, these oil wells (and natural gas and water wells also) are surrounded by materials that do not hold pressure - porous rock, rocks with cracks in them, sand, etc... If these wells had been any older than 10,000 years old, the pressure would have long since disipated. 1 So how long does it take for oil to form? Millions of years? It has been demonstrated in the lab that oil can form in amazingly short amounts of time (less than a year), yet you can see video footage of oil being formed virtually instantaneously off the coast of California on the ocean floor!2 Superheated steam rising up through cracks in the ocean floor strikes biological entities and converts them into what visibly and chemically appears to be crude oil!
