How did all that oil get down there?

Asked by PerryDolia (3481points) August 3rd, 2009

We are supposed to believe that oil is compressed vegetative matter from eons ago.

Does this mean there was a jungle that had rocks fall on top of it? If the jungle was slowly covered with dust or sand, wouldn’t it desiccate?

How did that jungle get so far underground?
