Craetion Moment 1/16/2015 - Oil points to recent Creation

"....news headlines centered on the dramatic increase in oil production from shale basins in the United States. Discussions highlighted a few mysteries underlying these vast storehouses of shale and the oil and other organic molecules they harbor.

First, how did so many organisms get trapped in sediments before decaying?

Second, why did all the oil not already rise to the surface and get consumed by oil-eating bacteria if it is truly millions of years old?

Oil Shale
After a team of researchers described details of their system that makes oil in only one hour, it appears that oil does not form slow enough—or decay slow enough—to fit a millions-of-years' timeline.

If the observable rates of oil formation and degradation are any indication, then these processes typically happen relatively fast. Biblical creation provides a context to solve such mysteries: World-covering water buried the organics quickly only thousands of years ago in Noah's Flood." CR

being understood by the things that are made,
even his eternal power and Godhead;
