Session 4: The Fossil Fuel Hoax
Proverbs 24:30-34: A Biblical Warning
To be void of understanding is Biblically condemned.
Even from a dilapidated house we should see and consider what took place.
If we do not work and understand then poverty will meander down the path our way and need will rob from us leaving us empty handed.
This Biblical truth is especially true if we are void of understanding in the second most abundant fuel source on earth: “fossil fuel" (oil, natural gas, coal).
“Fossil Fuel"“The United States will run out of oil and gas in the next 30 or 40 years." James Schlesinger, energy advisor to President Jimmy Carter, 1977.
This thinking has been set forth (with changing dates) for decades. Is it true?
“everybody knows" kind of “truth" that says that oil, coal, and natural gas are the result of the decomposing animals.
“Fossil fuels are formed from the decomposition of buried carbon-based organisms that died millions of years ago."
That statement in itself should“dead on arrival" by all Christians who believe in a young earth.
That statement in itself should“dead on arrival" by every scientist, without exception.
“something doesn't add up."
“fossil fuel" has been used since the 1500's to refer to carbon-based fuels. BUT, in the 1500's, fossil“Obtained by digging; found buried in the earth. Now chiefly of fuels and other materials occurring naturally in underground deposits."
It comes from the Italian fossile“any material extracted from the earth's crust."
“natural fuels"
“Carbon-based fuel is any fuel principally from the oxidation or burning of carbon."
More specifically, oil, natural gas, and coal are hydrocarbons -- a compound of hydrogen and carbon.
Carbon is one of the elements that we, in this study, presupposed to be created by God on day one of creation (see lesson 1).
“Carbon is the 15th most abundant element in the Earth's crust, and the fourth most abundant element in the universe by mass after hydrogen, helium, and oxygen." --Wikipedia
How is oil, natural gas, and coal developed? The truth is: we don't know.
What happens a mile deep in the earth? We don't know!
Is it possible that a mile below the earth's surface that the earth is producing oil?
Several discoveries have strongly indicated that hydrocarbons are abiotically“no life involved."
“We don't say that higher hydrocarbons actually occur under the realistic 'dirty' Earth mantle conditions, but we say that the pressures and temperatures alone are right for it to happen."
My interpretation: *…and thus oil and natural gas*.
A Biblical Perspective
A young-earth perspective is incompatible with virtually all explanations of where fossil fuels came from. Therefore, every Christian that accepts a young earth view should reject the idea that fossil fuels came from rotting animals.
A classic-science view (the scientific method) is supported by Biblical instruction and would also require that current common views about fossil fuels be relegated to theory and not to fact. Classic science (which is Christian science) believes that we can only see what we can see.
“energized creation" view (as we have proposed) believes that God has given us an earth that is filled with energy at the atomic level, that energy is abundant, and that an abundant and possibly growing resource of hydro-carbon fuel is available for our use.
“Renewable Energy"Renewable energy is, without question, worthy of scientific consideration.
A believer shouldn't really care whether his or her electricity or heat comes from a coal mine, an oil well, a gas well, a solar panel, or a windmill.
But a believer does care how the use of certain fuels affects the air he breaths, the earth he enjoys, and the future he cares about.
A believer also cares about the governmental constraints he lives under and believes that God-given government has certain parameters. For this reason, a believer is very concerned“eco-tyranny."
The believer is also concerned that government stay out of areas in which its role is not Biblically ordained. The development of energy would be one of those areas, in my opinion.
Today, the vast majority of“renewable" energies require government subsidies. Government subsidies require taxation of the poor and middle class, and therein lies the problem. Should a believer support an energy policy that robs the poor of their hard-earned income?
Renewable energy is often built on slave labor. The silicone for the solar panels or the lithium for the electric cars comes would not be available today without Chinese child and slave labor. Shouldn't this be a problem for believers?
A Challenge To The YoungFuel for burning or for electrical production can come from virtually anything, because God has embedded electrons and protons in every single atom, without exception.
Christians ought to care about caring for the dominion that is ours: earth, and all that is in it.
Christians should also care about providing the cheapest and cleanest energy for themselves and their fellow humans.
We need the Christian mind to come to the table with Biblical thinking in regard to energy production and use. For too long, we have allowed godless thinkers to set the tone for energy concepts. We have a God who has energized our world and given that world to us!
A challenge to the Christian young: consider being a scientist and inventor who will create energy production out of the atoms all around us.
“energized atoms" were given a permanent energy by God from the creation of the world.
An army of Christian scientists can help us use these in a way that most blesses the world in which we live.
…
…
we could “grow electricity?"
…
we had electronic tools for everyday living (lights, for example) that used very little energy?
…
electrical generation became so independent that people could quickly and simply generate their own?
…
the church knew enough about the creation God has given us that the church could educate its own (and its neighbors) on energy production?
