The Origins Of Oil

One thing which is noticed quite often is the close proximity of oil,gas and coal.Since they are all have the same building blocks ie: carbon it seems natural that large deposits of similar materials should have the same antecedents especially when they are near to each other and how else could it be? Since coal can be turned into oil or gas but not the other way around then coal should be the common denominator of all three .Certainly of itself and most importantly of the others as well.So what could turn coal into oil and gas.Probably not just heat and pressure which can wax and wane but something more complex and which exists at deep strata.That something is organisms which consume coal and leave as a byproduct oil and or gas just as organisms consuming terrestrial food transform that into methane and alcohol.The oilfields of the world are the refuse of organisms from eons ago.Nature in her perfect way has provided man with the energy and in a form needed to make the world of today possible.
