One such argument goes something like this:
1. Almanacs give data on coal and oil production over the past -- say --
100 years.
2. This is business data. It is verifiable. Factual. No arguments
possible.
3. All coal and oil deposits ever found and analyzed show that they
originate with organic (pre-living) plants and animals. No exceptions.

Burgy, it is my understanding that part of the "RATE" initiative from
Answers in Genesis, will be the claim that "fossil fuels" do not necessarily
have an organic origin. I don't know the details, but my understanding is
that they will pick up on things such as the extra-terrestrial presence of
methane, to argue that there can be/are inorganic processes that can/do
produce "fossil fuels." As I say, I haven't seen the details, but I'm
pretty sure they're coming. I'd be suprised if they're right, but they're
coming.
