Some theories question whether it does not come from natural geothermal processes from within the earths crust....But like i said earlier, this is just a theory that should be taken with a HUGE grain of salt ;) |
The academic world is full of pet theories and hypothesis of the most absurd things you can imagine. No geothermal process can pop molecules that look exactly like chlorophyl, keratin, cellulose etc. out from, I don't know, any carbon reserves they imagine to exist beneath the Earth.
I'm far from your politically correct greenpeace preacher, and I think oil can be safely used as fuel specially in developing countries through the next century, but theories like these, specially involving chemistry that I know the best (abiotic crude oil, georeactor, spaceborne viruses etc.) really makes my balls hurt man.
OT - Apple is cooler than her haters.
