Plenty of cults exist - every cult has its 'religious dogma', its idols, its 'prophets', its 'science', its 'proof' and its intolerant liturgy of demands. Cults everywhere: Corona, 'The Science' or Scientism, Islam, the State, the cult of Gender Fascism, Marxism, Darwin and Evolution, Globaloneywarming, Changing Climate, Abortion...

Hydrocarbons are another example of $cientism and the distortion of reality which emanates from the complex of corporations, governments, regulators, and various interest groups who benefit from the paradigm of convincing the peasants that plentiful hydrocarbon energy and fuel ‘evolves over time’ from dead animals and plants and is scarce and ‘toxic’. For 120 years we have been mis-educated on this issue by ‘experts’ and ‘the science’. Believing that plentiful energy is non-renewable is an essential propaganda claim in the war on reality and to eliminate hydrocarbon energy to save Gaia.
In the Darwinian-Big Bangian-dogma of endless time and uniformitarian deposition, we are taught from childhood that petrol, coal and natural gas are created by fossils and the remains of animals and plants. Softly and slowly over hundreds of millions of years, this grinding magical process has existed. No cataclysms, no changes, with the ‘climate’ set at 21C with a slight breeze from the West. Uniformity and the unnatural law of ‘stuff happens’. From these never-observed, never proven long-age processes, hydrocarbon abundance is somehow generated.
In 1892 there was a purported meeting held in Geneva by a group of scientists to define what an organic substance meant. The outcome was that an organic substance was defined to be a composition of hydrogen, oxygen and carbon. If the substance was alive it was ‘biotic’ or with life. A-biotic (or ‘without life’) is the opposite in which the subtance may be include hydrogen, oxygen, or carbon, but does not display life or biotic existence.
A theory has been forwarded that the Rockefeller’s, who owned the oil behemoth Standard Oil, funded an entourage of ‘scientists’ who attended this meeting and persuaded the convention to accept oil as an organic substance, or material from once-living and now dead organic creatures. From this deception, so the claim goes, the Rockefeller energy cartel could present oil as a scarce resource to inflate and control the price of oil.
It is unlikely that this story is true, and it might be one of the few cases where the fake gestapo ‘Fact Checkers’ are right. ‘Fossil fuels’ as a term of ignorance and usage may have existed as far back as the 18th century, created by Caspar Neumann in 1759 in his book, ‘The Chemical Works’. ‘Fossils’ as a body of analytical work and investigation was only developed in the 18th century so this is plausible.
However, the important point is about the term ‘fossil fuels’ itself and not who invented it. Here is yet another example, where we have modern metaphysics and ‘scientific’ gospel based on 18th century dogma with no querulous or curious update to the original. A 250-year-old term is just taken for granted as ‘scientific’. So much for the ‘evolution’ of intelligence.
The official definition of ‘Fossil Fuels’ is the following:
any of a class of hydrocarbon-containing materials of biological origin occurring within Earth’s crust that can be used as a source of energy.
Fossil fuels include coal, petroleum, natural gas, oil shales, bitumens, tar sands, and heavy oils. All contain carbon and were formed as a result of geologic processes acting on the remains of organic matter produced by photosynthesis, a process that began in the Archean Eon (4.0 billion to 2.5 billion years ago)
This definition is not even testable and thus is not scientific. Witness the following obfuscation: ‘Geological processes ‘acting’ on the ‘remains’ of dead animals, trees, plants and flora?
What processes are we discussing here? Why and how would a decomposing plant or tree turn into coal or natural gas? Compost does not create hydrocarbon energy. We are told that peat fields and swamps, over long periods of time, under great pressure and due to enzymic reactions, decompose the compost into coal and oil. This is utter nonsense and sophistry. Not a single experiment, observation or replicable process exists or has existed, to support this official narrative of how hydrocarbon energy is generated. Many of us have had compost heaps and dumps and never once, was oil, coal or gas created. Instead, a type of humus or rich soil is produced. The defenders of the corrupt narrative will of course invoke one of their Trinitarian Gods – Time – to explain the creation of hydrocarbon energy from a compost.
From the definition above, the observant individual notices the complete absence of fossils. An elaboration is required from the sophists who call themselves ‘the science’:
“Most of the fossil fuel material we use today comes from algae, bacteria, and plants—some of which date back even before the Devonian Period, 419.2 million to 358.9 million years ago.”
When you see such specific numbers from people whose C14 dating can give a future age (ie negative C14), we can emit a chuckle. As if these people know anything beyond a few thousand years. They do however admit that fossils are not involved.
Although these carbon compounds are very old, they are not fossils. Although fossils can be the actual remains and traces of ancient plants and animals, they also might be mere impressions made in the rock.
Thanks ‘Science’. The huge brains admit that our hydrocarbon fuel has nothing to do with fossils. Apparently 400-million-year-old decomposed algae is filling your vehicles’ tank, calibrated by the ‘science’ to be 419.2 (not 419.1, not 418.67) million years ago. Of course, we must believe that energy systems, complex convection systems, and equilibrium’s last millions and billions of years. Teacher say. Science say.
A question the curious might ask would be:
‘Where does the plentiful, self-replenishing, omnipresent seams, strands, lakes, and deposits of oil, gas, and coal, saturating the planet in almost every location, really come from?
Are we to believe that the endless sources of hydrocarbon energy come from ‘Devonian Era’ algae? Is that even sensible?
Consider coal. All over the world we can see vertical coal shafts running at strange angles, for hundreds of feet or more, in many cases full of detritus, petrified trees, and even human artefacts. Such formations are deposited and detailed and we have probably uncovered only a small fraction of such formations. These can only be created by catastrophic events. Uniformity cannot explain coal creation, and neither can it explain hydrocarbon fuels, which like coal, exist in such vast quantities that it defies uniformitarian creation myths.
Petroleum, composed of hydrocarbons and heteroatomic molecules (not carbon, not hydrogen), is the most complex mixture occurring in nature. Apparently, this complexity is arrived at by uniformitarian-stuff happens and chance. For mainstream ‘Science’ the creation of Petroleum must include the following miracles:
(1) The magical formation of organic-rich sediments (they name this as a source ‘rock’ though this formation is just a layer)
a. (why, how, where would they form?)
(2) These sediments are buried to a sufficient depth (how, why?) by overburden rock (what?) so that petroleum is generated and expelled
a. (how is organic matter turned into petroleum, what is the process?),
(3) Some ‘pathways’ (permeable strata and faults) allow the petroleum to ‘migrate’,
a. (how does a crushed liquid ‘migrate’ what propels it, is it gravity alone and where does it migrate to?)
(4) Reservoir rocks which are sufficiently porous and permeable allow an accumulation of this material,
a. (where do these magically appear from, how are they formed, why are they in the same area at the same time?)
(5) Somehow there is apparently a ‘seal rock’ (low permeability) or other ‘structures’ which contain and retain the petroleum
a. (created how, when, and why does it close over a ‘reservoir’?)
All of these miracles apparently arrive in a uniformitarian, unchanging, never-cataclysmic Earth history. Gentle, slow, and regal.
In the official fantasy-narrative how many Gods of the Gaps are there? The above is declared the ‘Science’ but looks more like a gospel of faith. How would the many assumptions in the above 5 steps comport with reality? What is the chance that any of the steps would occur naturally? What are the chances that all the steps occurred all over the world at the same time in a uniformitarian model? Next to zero. Do we see any evidence of these processes in our observational reality today? No. Can any of this be replicated in an experiment. No.
There are 2 main theories to explain the formation of hydrocarbon energy based on the miraculous steps above. The mainstream ‘science’-view looks only at: 1-biogenic (animal life) and 2-abiogenic (chemical). There is a third theory, much derided but which satisfies Occam’s razor and that is abiotic.
Biogenic: is where oil is generated by the thermal conversion of sedimentary organic matter derived from living organisms. Most geochemists support this theory. An example is oil creation from sediments of dead algae on the ocean or sea floors (see objections above).
Abiogenic: where oil is formed from minerals, in a catalysed reaction of nonbiological carbon, deep within the Earth. Most geochemists reject this theory.
There is a third theory developed over 100 years by Russian scientists in the energy sector. Western audiences have for the most part never heard of these endeavours. Some of these insights and proofs are however making headway in the ‘West’. The abiotic theory of hydrocarbon manufacture as a natural process is supported by what is observed and conforms to Occam’s razor around explanatory models and common sense. This theory is far more likely to explain why hydrocarbon energy is so plentiful.
The abiotic theory argues that hydrocarbons are naturally produced on a continual basis throughout the solar system, including within the mantle of the earth. Hydrocarbon energy is thus a-biotic, or unrelated to carbon life forms. The theory posits that hydrocarbon energy ‘seeps up’ through bedrock cracks to be deposited in sedimentary rock. This model makes more sense than the standard model of many Gods and miracles outlined above. Traditional petrogeologists have confused the layers of rocks as the creator of energy and the depository of hydrocarbons. Rocks cannot manufacture anything. More
