Sometimes used as a "Young Earth" argument
Somewhere in the past I seem to recall that you're an "age-agnostic" creationist. Anyway, in the past I've seen the abiotic origin of petroleum used as some sort of young Earth argument.
How about some additional reference, besides worldnetdaily.com. That source reminds me too much of the recently dearly departed Weekly World News. An article of dubious accuracy and writing quality. Maybe you could track down some on-line version of Science Magazine, which BTW, I believe is something other than the most prestigious Science journal (but I may be wrong).
Also, how about a little quoted content and/or commentary from you. Your message 1 is close to being a bare link.
Placement of this topic is somewhat problematic. As noted, it has before been part of the evo/creo debate.
Please post any new material as a new message.
In general, take it easy on the new topics. You've had quite a few since your comeback.

Abiotic oil info resources
I Googled "abiotic oil" and "abiotic oil" + "Science Magazine" and got lots.
It included:
Abiogenic petroleum origin - Wikipedia
and perhaps more significantly:
Unambiguously Ambidextrous: Oil Is Not A Fossil Fuel?
which led to:
Abiogenic Origin of Hydrocarbons: An Historical Overview
RESOURCE GEOLOGY, vol. 56, no. 1, 85-98, 2006
http://static.scribd.com/docs/j79lhbgbjbqrb.pdf
This PDF seems to be a pretty heavy discussion of the matter.
I just don't have a good feeling about promoting this topic.

ps - A comment at the 2nd cite above, which included the PDF reference, also had the following information about your WorldNetDaily author:
quote:
BTW, Corsi is a PhD in PoliSci and the co-author of the anti-Kerry polemic "Unfit for Command". I daresay his motivations here are a bit suspect.
