I made a post on Facebook a couple of days ago theorizing how so many Americans seem to truly believe that oil is dead dinosaurs. I suggested that it was probably an evangelical thing as I couldn’t begin to figure out why so many people would believe something so silly. I was shocked by the replies. Many of my American friends told me that, indeed, they had been taught EXACTLY this at high school!
As the late George Michael wrote ' You can have your money or your life, but you can't have both.'
I put two lad's through private school here in the UK. My ex wife never worried about money, she left that to me! See grey hair, haggard looks and broken body. Nothing lasts forever, I always knew the days of a well paid gig would end. Like manufacturing at the hands of Thatcher.
In the early 1970s, I was taught in elementary school science class that oil was called a fossil fuel because it came from dinosaur remains (and plants) under heavy pressure in the earth's crust. It wasn't until I was almost middle aged that I heard other explanations.
Back in the Soviet School system we were taught that the crude oil is an organic mass originated from trees, leaves and dinosaurs from million years ago.
Isn't it an explanation the "science" use to explain the mistery of origins of oil?
