Coal is mostly the result of ancient land plants, and oil is primarily the result of ancient ocean plants. (Life is carbon based, and these materials are carbon based.) If you think the world is only 6,000 years old, then no wonder you think we can't run out of this stuff; it must get formed rather quickly. But funny, I don't think we've ever seen any new coal or oil formed in our lifetime, nor the lifetimes of any relative we've ever known about.

Formed during Noah's flood, more likely.

even if oil/caol can be formed, we have to find a new way to use energy because this enery is not efficient neither is it efficiently used...(i.e. hummers-16 gallons=160 miles mpg-10) we need to find a souce of energy that can keep cars running and stop contributing to the pollution and green house gases in the air..if not then we lose the 7 heavens that god made to protect us and we will melt the ice caps and get fried!!!!

Gas is the way to the future. Cows, goats and kangaroo's have what it takes in that department. Humans do too, but only a fraction of what we produce makes emissions from cars look like a fart in a dust storm.

Well, very twisted question for sure. Anyway, you don't seem to realize that we are fighting because we were attacked by an enemy that won't rest until we either die, convert to their version of Islam, and shred the constitution.
Now, you can ask a different question about whether fossil fuels prove the earth is older than 6000 years, but it's a different point.

it was a sweet little gift from Satan. it looked like a wonderful thing but it kills any of God's creation it comes in contact with, it's limited and it pits man against man. It also helped demonize the one plant that could have met our energy needs: hemp. (4X more cellulose per acre than trees, 10x more than corn)

Fundamentalists would just say that God made it so that we would measure and erroneously believe that they were formed millions of years ago. They would view most of this scientific stuff as devil deception work and nothing more.

Were the scientists around while it was forming since they are so sure of it.
