Quote:Yep, really. Betcha you can't show me that it has, either, beyond some far-fetched and as of now completely baseless speculation.
You really think that no oil has been produced since the dinosaurs died ? Really? wow.

kwickie - this event had nothing to do w/ Bush / Cheney, Haliburton.... but it may very well have to do w/ Clinton. Sorry if you're too stupid or partisan to see it, though.
Sig. I can't show you how oil is made ?
Probably right. How can you teach someone something they don't want to learn ?

That's $50 from Pizmo, a guaranteed $12.5 from Anthony. Let's see where it goes. I won't know until July 1 how much I could pitch in, maybe $50-75 probably, I'm pretty far behind. But I'd do it, fer shore. And I have no DOUBT it'll still be going on then!
As to video, I could take lots of pictures (time permitting), but all I have is a little Olympus point-and-shoot, which does take videos and I would, they just won't be terribly good. If it were made possible, I'd do anything anyone wanted, as long as I could spend most of my time working. Hey, I can dream!
And to hell with the WulfWind, he'd diss it or find some conspiracy or something to bitch about...it'd be for the rest of you, 'cuz you'd have made it possible!

I'd donate, but you would have to assure me you are not some big fat chick that will use the money to buy twinkies. I do have a sneaking suspicion you are huge, forgive me if I'm wrong, the way I see it... any chick who can spend as much time as you do looking up shit can't have many dates. Right?
If you do go I'll meet you there we can share a room and hang out...

Quote:Nice duck. No, you can't. There is no current or fossil evidence to show that oil is being continuously produced. Theory? Yes. Data? Not an iota!

About this time you duck out of threads where you have been thoroughly schooled. Which would be a shame, as this is the ONE topic about which you have genuine, Rap-sourced feelings. But it seems you would take those honest feelings and even sell THOSE down deNile!
Hang on to those honest feelings, Rappy. Those feelings of outrage and grief... We feel them with you. The horror is unbelievable... even the media has to look away from this ongoing train-wreck and deal with picayune things because the tragedy is too overwhelming. Fish, birds, and beaches are not Republican or Democrat. Don't follow the media's lead, whether it is Limbaugh or Maddow. Stick with the truth, which is too large to be encapsulated by any ideology

The fossil record wouldn't show it anyway. The geologic evidence, sure. But we have heat and pressure and processes that are occurring miles beneath the surface, and your glib response is " theory " ?
The same processes which made oil in the past have never stopped.
Ask any geologist.
You haven't schooled me in anything, other than showing me your colossal ignorance and false pride IN that ignorance.

Quote:ANY geologist? Well, my sister is a geologist. so I'll ask her. And all of her friends, who are also geologists and who work in Texas. Good enough for you?

And yes, there is heat and pressure down there. The problem is, I'm not seeing... and neither is anyone else... vast beds of carbon being laid down and converted to oil. If that were the case, we would be seeing a a whole series of oil reservoirs... some old, some intermediate, some young... just like we find a near-continuous record of old and young fossils. But we're not finding "young" oil reservoirs.
I know the theory... that carbon from "down there" is "somehow" being converted and pushed up to the surface. The problem is that oil is found in sedimentary rock: rock which was laid down at the bottom of an lake or ocean, with NO volcanic intrusions or even evidence of metamorphosis. So the theory is a bust, as it explains none of the observable facts and seems to be based entirely on wishful thinking.
And I see you've slipped back into deNile. Well, at least you touched reality once. You can write that in your diary as a keepsake. I feel sorry for you, Rappy. I really do. Somewhere, under all that ideology, is a halfway decent person who felt genuine grief about a tragedy almost too large to comprehend.

So, you don't see it, thus it doesn't exist?
You're trying to get a simple, cover all answer for a complex issue. Oil doesn't always get pushed to the surface. That's why it's DRILLED for , so often.
Talk to your sister and her geologist friends, before you answer again. This is a waste of time.

President Barack Obama tried to deliver an upbeat message Monday in Theodore. He emphasized cooperation and coordination among all levels of government, stressed that Gulf seafood is safe to eat and said the Gulf Coast will eventually be "in better shape than it was before."
Better than it was before.
You heard it, folks. Messiah is going to make it all better.
Doesn't know how to plug the hole ( sorry, Malia )but he'll make the entire gulf coast sparkling and shining, full of life that's bountiful, happy, clean and safe to eat.
I'm from the government, and I'm here to help

Quote:There has to be EVIDENCE for something, even if it is indirect, such as the evidence that exists for electrons (because I haven't seen an electron directly... have you? I have, however, seen the Milkin oil drop experiment. I AM willing to take indirect evidence and extend it by theory.)
So, you don't see it, thus it doesn't exist?
But there is no evidence of ANY kind... and certainly none that YOU have brought to the table, which tells me that you're just blowing smoke. If I start believing in stuff for which there is not even the slightest shred of evidence, I may as well believe in God, the tooth fairy, and purple dragons. I leave that arena to you.

Sig
Your argument is no more valid than saying since we don't see fossils being made any more, all the fossils which have ever BEEN made are made.
Idiocy.
