Is oil really from dinosaurs? If so, Why did GOD create them in the first place?

Oil is not really from dinosaurs themselves, its from that period in time.  Its actually plant matter compressed over time underground with extreme pressure and heat causing it to turn into the oil we see.\n\nCheck out this site to learn more about oil and how it was created.\n\nhttp://edugreen.teri.res.in/explore/n_renew/oil.htm

ok first of all just because one thing the bible says is true,that wouldnt make the entire thing true and second of all,originally the Earth was a ball of molten rock that cooled down.water didnt come around till later(im not sure how though)

Oil is one of the end results of a long, long process of decomposition, heat, pressure, and transformation of molecular structures.  Many people are unaware that there are multiple types of oil resulting form differences in all of the components of the process.\n\nAs a "renewable resource," you are barking up the wrong geologic age.  Once the oil available on Earth is gone - that is, the "petroleum" created through metamorphic processes in deep layers of the planet - human beings may berely live long enough for them to see more.  it takes many millions of years to create oil through purely natural processes.  And the many physical changes in the planet that cause it to begin with, including vast earthquakes, total transformation of the layers of the Earth's crust, extinction of life forms, and other events, suggest that when is more oil made in the distant future, humans might themselves be part of the matter eventually converted into petroleum.\n\nWell, no, that's hardly likely.  Decomposition would prevent that.\n\nBut, anyhow - no, oil is not a practical form of a renweable resource.  It is possible to make synthetic versions of petroleum, or to make alternative fuels that have some of the key features of petroleum, however.\n\nUltimately, humanity may discover that petroleum is much too valuable to just burn.  It is a fundamental ingredient of many kinds of medicines.  It plays a role in various types of chemistry and other applications that may not ever be replaced or reproduced artificially.\n\nAnd humans will never live long enough to get more once it is gone.

The Bible is not a pure science book.\nThere is a passage in Job chapter 40 describing the "behemoth" and another in Job chapter 41 about "leviathan" (King James Version of the Bible) descriptions which could talk about the dinosaur. \n\nSee answersingenesis.org the article on "could Behemoth have been a dinosaur?"

Been watching one of those Startreck movies again, eh? I do believe if God did make life outside the Earth, he would have mentioned it in the Bible. Say, Gen. 1:18 "Then God created the Aliens without likeness of man, and placed them in other planets where darkness was. He breathed life to it, making it alive." v19 "He did not want Adam & Eve to know so he kept it a secret to thousand of thousands of generations."

The dinosaurs fit right in. What I don't get is how more people don't see how it fits but let me give you my humble opinion. This is not doctrine, this is one man's opinion. This is what I believe. On things of God we have a couple a sacred texts or scripture, in the oldest book about God written by the hands of prophets on stone, papyrii and what not we have accounts of the creation, in Genesis the first of even the pentetauch we are given such as slim or incomplete description that it is possible that 1 billion years could pass by as we read in a matter of one stanza. It has been said that 1 day in God's time is 1000 of our years in our reckoning. So lets take the first 6 days of the creation, or in particuliar the the 5th day after he had made some grass and light and stuff. In Gen 1:20 it say that He said" Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. 21. And God created great whales, and every living vreature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful and Multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. 32. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. 24 And God said, let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind; and it was so. " So that 5th day was very busy and at 1000yr /day reckoning its possible that it took 365,000 years to complete but cant know precisely yet . The beast of the earth that is referred to, also the great whales that are referred to, also refences to unicorns and all manner of beasts now extinct, isn't it possible that although not specifically mentioned that and on the 5th day about the 6th and 1/2 hour God made the T-rex and he blessed them and saw that they were ferocious. No . We only have this small wordage to assemble together the whole of creation. I dont see a problem with 17 billion year universe age and putting it into Gods plan at all. Bless you and have a pleasant tomorrow.

"Fossil fuel" doesn't mean it comes from fossils. It is the product of decayed bio-matter, which is most likely dead foliage that built up in layers, and after a great deal of time, was converted to oil by the intense pressure. This can happen with iorganis material as well, provided there is a proper carbon/hydrogen proximity. The big deal is, it takes a long, long time to make.

what about it? after millions of years it becomes oil...

so many of those answers just make me want to cry!\nthe bible does not mention dinosaurs so they did not exist?!?!?\nlets just ignore facts and all those fossils!\n\nIt is insanity!

First find a bible. Next read Genesis Chapter , its only 1 page. Then explain to you grand mother that god’s creations hade an order. That the fish in the water where created, then animals on land, then man. Then explain to her that in genesis when it talks about the days god created things, it does not literally mean day by day, it is just a way to understand the time line. If she can except that point out that god created animals ( including dinosaurs) before man and that some of these animals ( including dinosaurs)  died off before the time of mans creation, and well before moses wrote the old testament. \n\nMy email is, josh_r36@yahoo.com please write me and tell me how it went.

>>>>If fossil fuels are made from old dinosaurs...\n\nIt isn't so we can stop this right there. Fossil fuels are either made from  plants and marine algae or the result of geological processes. \n\nNo Dinsosaurs were harmed in the making of fossil fuel.

I'm quite impressed by all those quoting the Bible. I mean, really, without wanting to get into any religion-mocking. It actually is impressive as it is not the thinnest of books... \n\nAnyway, as for the question, no, I don't think that oil will be the reason for the world to end. More like a supernova that is our sun in a couple of millions of years.

the so-called christian record was compiled just a few centuries before the fall of roman imperialism under constantine. he called together so-called christian scholars to set the canon, that is those books which were to be included in the bible. as for a christian fossil record, there is none. fossils are actually bones and skeltons of animals which have been suffused with chemically inert material similar to stone. to become a fossil takes thousands of years, not just a few, but thousands of thousands of years. mankind, as we know him, has been here for less than twelve thousand years, which is not long enough to turn even the smallest bone into a fossil.creationism is nothing more than a religious position which has absolutly no basis in fact anywhere. the latest attempt to get god , and hence religion, back into schools is called intelligent design. this is nothing more than replaciung the word for god with the words intelligent design by those same self-professed experts who want religion (specifically creationism) to be taught instead of evolution. the major difference between the two is this, evolution explains based on scientific principles, religion makes claims based on belief but is never supported by facts.

Bible says God created animals. But not as they are NOW. Nowhere does it even elude to the fact that animals would never evolve, mutate or branch off. Creationists dont believe that animals, and humans have not changed, or even evolved with time. Nature would do that, animals would adapt as habitats changed. Thats just common sense.\n\nDinosaur bones. Not Satan. Who is to say that Donsaurs did not walk the earth? I dont believe God created the world in 6 days, but that it was an example, a metaphore if you will. Gods time is not our time, and Dinosaurs could have been created, and extinct before Adam even came to be.

ask a christian or a muslim then you would know that no dinosaur was more than 6000 years old :D\nother than that i don't really know :-<

Yes, we can make oil- take a look at Biodeisel.  However, right now it is still a LOT cheaper to get it from the ground then make it ourselves.  Oil scarcity is much more about economics than geology.
