So, how is petroleum made anyway? Lots of pressure and heat over time? How much time? Your average, run of the mill encyclopedia says millions of years. We know that's false, so just how long does it take to produce? I wonder if we could reproduce flood-like conditions in a lab that would, say, turn some vegetable scraps and an animal carcass into petroleum?

What are the moral implications of this? If people would realize that the flood of the Bible is true, then they'd realize that part of what they put in their gas tank is people. Or am I way off here? If not, I could be like Charlton Heston, and shout "Gasoline is PEOPLE!" as they cart me away. Exxon would have to change their tag line to "Put a person in your tank!" or, maybe "Put a tiger in your tank!" isn't so far from the truth.
