[QUOTE="Torah Keeper, post: 77024682, member: 332004"] Nope. If it were, we would not have such an abundance of it. There is simply far too much natural gas for it to have formed from decaying organic matter. Look how much decaying organic matter is turning into natural gas today, and getting trapped in airtight reservoirs underground. Now use that rate to determine how much has formed, and been trapped, in the history of life. Then subtract the amount that leaked out of the Earth from geologic activity(earthquakes, plate tectonics,etc), then subtract the amount that burned up naturally in wildfires, or volcanoes, then subtract the amount that was absorbed into organic matter or metabolized by bacteria, and how much do you have left? Reservoirs that were tapped out decades ago, have refilled. This is why I believe "fossil fuels" are formed from geologic processes deep in the Earth. Not from dead organic matter(which, if true, would have included dino farts from living and bloated carcasses). Agreed! [/QUOTE]
