Oil companies use Evolutionary Science to discover oil. Why are there no Creation "Science" oil companies?

Question

The dating of rocks by radioactive decay and fossils is fundamental to oil exploration.
Every petroleum exploration program expends large amounts of risk capital dating rocks to discover new oil fields. Creation "Science" say such dating methods are fataly flawed.
If creation "science" is correct then such discoverys are accidental.

Why do petroleum companies spend huge amounts of money
dating these rocks if such techniques are wrong?

Why is there no creation "science" oil company using creation "science" to find petroleum?

Answer 1

Your question has a major flaw : you are confusing reliability with validity The dating method is reliable (within a certain measure of error) but such methods are NOT valid.

Let me spell that out for you: suppose I send you a ruler that is a certain length and told you that it is a 1-m ruler. You don't know what exactly is a metre. Whatever you measure with THAT ruler will be reliable every time : this table is 1.6 m long, the distance from your gate to your front door is 4 m ,etc. Reliable.

But if the ruler is actually 0.95 m, how valid would your measurement be?

Answer 2

Oil companies search for sedimentary rock deposits which contain hydrocarbons which originate from plant life. The best places for this is ancient deltas like in present day New Orleans. The oil is trapped in the bedrock by a cap rock. When the drilling rig hits the pay zone, oil is extracted. The study of Geology has led me TO God, not away. I believe that God did spend billions and billions of years forming everything to an utter perfection for life and we humans are the crowning act of creation. I at one time believed in life on other planets but not now. Some Baptists, Jews and Christian fundamentalists believe the earth is 6000 years old. I certainly don't but the age of the earth is irrelevant. The Bible is not a science text. God is a moral Being which we are called to be. (P.S. If the world WAS 6000 years old, geologists would still look for the same ancient depositional environments to extract commercial quantiites of hydrocarbons.

Answer 3

They'd go bankrupt before they got anything out of the ground. Maybe that explains Harken energy.( George W Bush's failed oil company.)

Answer 4

Crap-Speak Most of the oil reserves are being found in very deep wells, Oil is not a biological, it is produced by the polymerizing of methane, the remaining hydrogen comes out of volcanoes and becomes water
geologists who believe that oil is fermented dinosaur juice are few and far between

Answer 5

There have been a few.

But they all went bankrupt after praying for oil turned out to be unreliable. ;o)

Answer 6

How about looking at the date of oil and coal using carbon 14 dating. None of it dates that far back. Coal has been made in a lab using natural processes in under a year. And I suppose you think they go to the ocean floor, pull up rocks and date them. Carbon 14 and Radiometric dating processes would both be contaminated in water. Try again

Answer 7

Because they make enough money bumming off of gullible people without any effort. duh The first poster here Mark G is not only stupid but a liar also. I thought oil was made from Jew fat from Hitler killing the Jews.

Answer 8

I seriously cannot understand why the heck ppl keep confusing what is physical from what is spirituaal.

Answer 9

If science has the answers shouldn't they be able to produce it in a laboratory?

Answer 10

hey you might be on to something
mabe gw isnt just a money and power lord,
hes trying to eradicate oil cause it debunks his religion

or mabe he just believes god put oil there just for his benefit
