American Thinker:

By Bob Ryan

Despite the commonality of “fossil” being used in conjunction with “fuel,” fossil fuels do not exist.  Fossils have no energy to transfer, which means they cannot be used as a source of fuel.

In order to understand why it is impossible for fossils to be used for fuel, it is important to understand what fossils are. 

From Discovering Fossils:

The modern use of the word ‘fossil’ refers to the physical evidence of former life from a period of time prior to recorded human history. This prehistoric evidence includes the fossilised [sic] remains of living organisms, impressions and moulds [sic] of their physical form, and marks/traces created in the sediment by their activities. There is no universally agreed age at which the evidence can be termed fossilised [sic], however it’s broadly understood to encompass anything more than a few thousand years. Such a definition includes our prehistoric human ancestry and the ice age fauna (e.g. mammoths) as well as more ancient fossil groups such as the dinosaurs, ammonites and trilobites.

Fossils are, in essence, lifeless rocks with no stored energy of any kind.

A fundamental law of physics is that energy cannot be created or destroyed.  It must be transferred from an already existing force — which cannot possibly be inanimate rocks.  For fuel to be taken from fossils requires the discarding of a law that cannot be violated. read more

  2. I completly agree.

    I’m 52 and have eaten the equivalent of a hundred cows worth of meat by now.

    No way my car is still running on a prehistoric brontasaurus.

  6. True.

    Add that fossils actually are an excellent proof of Noah’s flood.

    Look at what is called a 10 million year layer of SEDIMENT (like what a flood leaves behind), and you will find no evidence of 10 million years of life. No roots, no tunnels from marine or land life, etc. But you will find a fossilized tree without roots – as in torn up from the ground during the flood… – standing up through several layers of SEDIMENT. Tell me a dead tree stood for 10s of millions of years while several thick layers of SEDIMENT was laid down around it while no current tree can last 10s of years standing up.

    Sure. Go with that. Your faith is much stronger than what it takes to believe in a Creator and Noah’s flood.

    Every western film shows you proof of Noah’s flood when you see a Mesa in the background or a canyon with striations of SEDIMENT. Every striated landscape screams Noah’s flood is real. Arizona and the Grand Canyon are filled with proof. Beautiful proof. But go ahead and deny reality. You’ll spend eternity knowing you effed up and remember every moment you denied your creator. You’ll know you deserve what’s happening to you and that is what you’ll be agonizing over forever. You’ll know it’s just.

    Come to Jesus before it’s too late for you. Your eternal life depends on it.

  7. Sorry, this is starting to look like a big swing and a miss.

    “A fundamental law of physics is that energy cannot be created or destroyed. It must be transferred from an already existing force ”

    So where was it transferred to then? Oil is energy. Fossils, not so much.
    Jethro, help.

  8. What do you mean, Brad? If you burned Joey’s mummy it would only heat the house for 6 hours. And it would stink pretty bad. That a pretty poor BTU to weight ratio.

  11. @ Erik. LOL. perfect.

    BTW, you once said you were an expert on F150 problems. I’m thinking I’d like to tap your knowledge about some codes that my mechanic says are probably vacuum leaks. But nothing leaks in the normal places. He doesn’t have a smoke machine to test it thoroughly.

    If you’d like to help me, send a note to Claudia to start the convo in private. She has my numbers.

  14. Hmmm. Fossils are direct evidence of carbon-based life from a long time ago.

    That life was composed of hydro-carbons at one time (like we are) but then got changed through a very long process into rock (and maybe liquid sometimes?) Some rock does contain a ton of energy in the form of, yes, hydrocarbons – coal. Other rock, like granite, has no comparable chemical energy.

    The earth doesn’t ‘magically’ change a dead trilobyte into a piece of rock so the museums can display it. It’s a very long process I would bet isn’t fully understood. Maybe the bones/shells turn into non-energy-containing rock and the gooey stuff turns into coal, crude oil, natural gas, etc…

    The only thing we do know is that what fossils represent at one point contained chemical energy in the form of hydrocarbons.

  18. Nearly fifty years ago I worked in a coal mine for a couple of years. It was uncommon to find what had once been some sort of tree but was definitely now coal. Coal is truly a fossil fuel.

    And Dadof4, there are places with hundreds of layers of sediment thousands of feet thick. Which one was Noah’s flood?

  20. Vacuum Leaks. Old street racer here. Best way to track down a vacuum leak is with a can of carb cleaner. Start spraying it around your hoses and work your way to your intake manifold. When the rpm jumps, you’re in the general location.

  24. I’m holding a fossil right now. Well, I put it down to type this.

    My sister and I went to Lake Huron up near Alpena, MI last summer to collect them. There are beaches covered with them there and I collected many of them for a friend, just haven’t sent them to him, yet.

    Anyway, every single one of them is ROCK. You can try to light it on fire and *nothing*. You can grind it up and try to light it on fire and *nothing*. You can put them in a rock tumbler and all you get is mud.

    Some of these fossils are really cool. I have shells, coral and sea life (animals and plants). I have what geologists call death plates, layers of things that died leaving impressions on each layer of rock. I took one of these to see how many layers were in one palm-sized rock and sanded each layer down to the next layer. My hands got tired after a few days and four layers.

    You know what those layers suggest to me? That Noah’s flood caused, in quick succession, layers of mud and dead plants and animals that sealed them in what eventually coalesced into rocks. This is a smaller version of what Dadof4 is talking about – the striated sediment.

    Want to see a terrific movie about Noah’s flood? “Is Genesis History?”

  27. Carb cleaner goes a long way. Stupid-ass purge valves and you know, wtf? Is it just a fucked up valve, or is the ECM telling it to purge? Who knows? With OBD that you can SEE the commands under what running conditions… the shit that plots like old ALDL and shows you all conditions and commands.

    My OBD shit just shows pending and current codes. I love my old ALDL program that plotted everything in real time.

  28. The term fossil fuels arises from the idea that living matter (plants and animals) made up of organic chemicals became oil. It’s a colloquialism for that, muck like “Xerox this” meant “photocopy this”. Various theories of how that transformation occurs exist. One thing is certain: the amount of oil we have found and used would require a mind-bogglingly vast, nearly unlimited amount of biological material to undergo the transformation.

    Hydrocarbons can be formed without organic matter. Iron carbide, water and heat can combine this way. All three are present deep in the Earth’s core. Perhaps oil is formed this way, and we have a vast amount of petroleum reserves at our disposal.

  31. Glow plug out. Important shit. I used to have to park my MB300TD in the fucking DC garage. I couldn’t go get the car myself. Mmmmm… fucking subnormal retards starting diesels. CRANK CRANK CRANK CRANK!

    When I started it, it started in half a revolution. Because I know what the fuck glow plugs are.

    “Wait for the lamp, retard!”

    CRANK CRANK CRANK CRANK!

    That Duramax/Allison combo is unbeatable. But damn that Duramax eats about two Glow Plugs a year. Dealer ship is $1200.00 each. Glow Plugs are about $13.00. Get the truck in the air, pull the tire and plastic fender wells. An hour job tops. Historically could never figure out what hole. Well worth the $59.00. Ain’t technology great?

  36. For years and still now the leftist media puts forth that somehow dead lizards turn to mush and then to oil. And then there’s peak oil. How unscientific is that? DaveVA is right. The powers that be never talk about old oil wells that are refilling all by themselves. Oil is produced by the Earth, just like we produce sweat.

  37. Calling petroleum “fossil fuel” is NOT a matter of semantics – it is a matter of deceit – willful deceit.
    There exist bacteria deep in the abysses of the seas which, under intense pressures and temperatures, eat C-H and piss petroleum. It is also a well-known phenomenon which is deliberately obscured to help keep the price of petroleum elevated. If people understood that petroleum is constantly being replenished they’d be less likely to look kindly on the prices – and the continual whining that “The world is running out of Oil!” by the silly maggots who push the “green and renewable” bullshit agenda.

    Straight up mendacity.

  39. Tim – FJB’s concise summary was interesting so i drilled down deeper to get a broader understanding – following is what I found:
    From kerogen to petroleum: the mature stage
    Deeper burial by continuing sedimentation, increasing temperatures, and advancing geologic age result in the mature stage of hydrocarbon formation, during which the full range of petroleum compounds is produced from kerogen and other precursors by thermal degradation and cracking (in which heavy hydrocarbon molecules are broken up into lighter molecules). Depending on the amount and type of organic matter, hydrocarbon generation occurs during the mature stage at depths of about 760 to 4,880 metres (2,500 to 16,000 feet) at temperatures between 65 °C and 150 °C (150 °F and 300 °F). This special environment is called the “oil window.”

  40. I always thought oil in the earth was put there by God to lubricate that big iron ball at the center so it could spin and keep the planet stable. Also wondered what would happen if it were all eventually removed.

  41. Don’t know about crude oil, since everyone has a different opinion of what it’s source is, but I’d say there’s plenty of evidence that a coal seam is “fossil fuel”
    and has enough energy contained to have been the go-to fuel since it was discovered.

  42. The outer solar system contains vast amounts of hydrocarbons. The atmosphere of Jupiter alone contains enough natural gas to replace earth’s entire atmosphere three times. Just don’t tell the Dept of Energy, they’d spend a few trillion dollars studying the feasibility of a pipeline.
