Yopu have to put the stuff way under ground to get it to turn into oil. Miles under ground. It takes a long time. A really long time. Put grampa ion the ground and weight for him get pushed under ground by plate tectonics then he will be fossil fuel.
There are so many geocentrist crazies walking around.
Don't you think they should be looking for oil on Mars rather than water?
Or, do you think water pre-suppumes oil?
I read a sci fi book once they were shipping oil from one planet to another. Stupidest thing ever. Just look at the % of takeoff weight that is payload into orbit for the space shuttle. But you are correct that they should be looking for chemically bound hydrogen. That can be turned into water easily.
The Miller experiment proves you can get organic material from inorganic material, under the right conditions. So why isn't it possible that the so called 'fossil fuels' formed from inorganic materials?
"Organic" is the chemistry of Carbon-containing "stuff". Petroleum and gas, as well as coal, contain lots of Cargon, hence the term hydro-carbons.
Non-organic is the chemistry of non-carbon-containing stuff'.
It is impossible, except under fusion. to get carbon from noncarbon, or organic, from inorganic. Not possible.
What is possible, and almost certain, that kerogen (oil-shale, if you like) is continuing the conversion to petroleum and natural gas on a constant basis, converting animal and plant forms, buried deep under sedimentary strata millions of years ago, into fresh petroleum and NG.

The term "organic" deceptively presupposes that carbon is actually CREATED by pre-living things.
Actually, this thread poses a good question. When and how does the "Intelligent Design" crowd believe fossil fuels were made???
On the other hand, the OP appears to be the perfect evidence that the intelligent creator didn't have the guts to bestow his creation with intelligence. There's a reason that the Lord is considered a shepherd...
On a personal note, I am very happy to note that, lately, one gallon of rotten dinosaur juice is a bit cheaper at the pump.
"There is abundant evidence of major volcanic eruptions 4 billion years ago, which would have released carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and sulfur dioxide (SO2) into the atmosphere."
