Oil has been formed from dead organic matter over millions of years. Plants would die, be covered up by sediment, and over time, it would become what we now know today as crude oil.
That is what has been believed for years. But there is another theory that oil is not a fossil fuel at all but is instead a product of the earth just like gold, silver, steel, and all the other things the earth produces. Oil has been found as deep as 23,000 feet. Ask yourself how did those plants and animals, that are supposed to be what crude oil is created from, get to a debt of over 4 miles down. To many people including me, that makes no sense at all.
