Lets do an experiment now. First we will make a prediction from the hypothesis that there was a recent, global flood that wiped out all life except a handful of various "kinds." A prediction is a necessary consequence of the hypothesis. So, if there was a recent, global flood, then one necessary...

"Goddidit" is not a very convincing answer. It is utterly untestable, and doesn't actually tell us anything useful. Evolution on the other hand, consists of a number of well tested hypotheses that give tremendous insight into biology in ways that are very useful.

I don't know, that game ate a whole lot of quarters.

Please, butt in whenever you want. I'm just a layman.

They are not enclosed in anything.

Except that shale is not igneous rock. And you will notice that the oil does not sit in a depression, but rises and is trapped from above.

A picture is worth a thousand words: here is a few thousand words:

The rocks are porous. That means they have lots of little holes. The oil fills these little holes.

There are no basins, or channels or depressions. You have already been told this.

Yes. Now, do you know what the word synthesis means?

Do you know what the word synthesis means?

You failed to understand the point. The very plasticity you reported was due to how environment can effect gene expression. This capacity is driven by genetics, the genetics that allow this themselves are due to mutation and natural selection. Changes in the environment don't change the...

And those switching mechanisms and the genes they regulate are under control of evolutionary mechanisms such as mutation and natural selection.

The earth is a dynamic system. Changes in the water flow, movement of plates, changes in ocean level can all act to change the type of sedimentation.

There is an hypothesis that Mars may have once had significant amounts of surface water, along with an atmosphere. Perhaps an ocean's full. This is not the same as a claim that Mars was once entirely under water. Of course, Europa on the other hand may well be one vast, frozen ocean.

Quickly? no.

Nobody claimed that oil formed in such environments. Biomass accumulates in such environments. Oil forms much later from this biomass.

Yes, they fall under anoxic conditions.

yes: They live in the water. They die They drift to the bottom They do this for a long time Over time, as sea levels and other environmental conditions change, they are burried by other sediment layers. Layers are deformed due to tectonic forces, and other layers are deposited on top of those...
