Besides, this explanation works.
So you and others keep saying, but so far not a shred of evidence that it works to find oil.
This is so far beyond the pale of constructive discussion or even reality that I'm suspending you for 24 hours.
AbE: Explaining my action in more detail, the portion I'm very concerned about is where you say there is "not a shred of evidence," when my most important goal is an evidence-based discussion. Though in very general terms, in this very thread you've discussed the geologically derived rules for where to find oil and described your belief that they can be followed like cookbook recipes that work but whose other real world implications are false, while at the same time ignoring that theories that don't correspond to reality shouldn't work at all.
Please avoid declarations that there's no evidence - they're not just untrue, they're very provocative. You've said many times that you understand the scientific evidence but have a different interpretation. Please discuss that evidence and how it leads you to a different interpretation. Please avoid declarations like (paraphrasing), "Sedimentary layers could only be formed by a global flood, especially ones with tracks and burrows," unless they're followed by argument for how the evidence supports them. For just a couple examples, you could describe the evidence for mammals digging burrows on mud flats between tides, and the evidence that such burrows are found in sedimentary layers that formed from mud flats.
