Glenn Morton's Evidence Examined

Finding it isn't the hard part... it is definitely down there. And as long as your looking in a relatively close area, you'll see it.The hard part is explaining how it got there. You don't get a bunch of dead organism to convert into hydrocarbons in a short amount of time.

We're probably talking about different things with the phrase "finding it".I'm talking about a geologist going something like: "there's all this organic matter way down there that over the course of millions and millions of years has turned into oil and we can drill down there and get it". And then a YEC comes in a goes: "well, really, its that there's all this organic matter way down there that over the course of thousands and thousands of years has turned into oil and we can drill down there and get it".That they've just lopped a bunch of zeros off of the years wouldn't prevent them from finding the oil. I was going along with this:

---

YECs can find oil with just the basic idea of relative dating and knowledge of the morphology of the rocks

I think petrophysics is talking about something different that is more along the lines of if the YECs didn't have the geologists to piggy back off of then they'd have no reason to think the oil was down there and wouldn't go about finding it. That I agree with. I certainly don't concede that because there is no such thing as "YEC methods".All YECs do is steal other peoples' work and lop zeros off the years.Unless I'm wrong? Can you tell me about these YEC methods?Edited by Cat Sci, : typos
