A study published in Science Magazine today presents new evidence
supporting the abiotic theory for the origin of oil, which asserts oil is
a natural product the Earth generates constantly rather than a "fossil
fuel" derived from decaying ancient forests and dead dinosaurs.
The lead scientist on the study – Giora Proskurowski of the School of
Oceanography at the University of Washington in Seattle – says the
hydrogen-rich fluids venting at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in the
Lost City Hydrothermal Field were produced by the abiotic synthesis of
hydrocarbons in the mantle of the earth.
The abiotic theory of the origin of oil directly challenges the
conventional scientific theory that hydrocarbons are organic in nature,
created by the deterioration of biological material deposited millions of
years ago in sedimentary rock and converted to hydrocarbons under intense
heat and pressure.
While organic theorists have posited that the material required to
produce hydrocarbons in sedimentary rock came from dinosaurs and ancient
forests, more recent argument have suggested living organisms as small as
plankton may have been the origin.
The abiotic theory argues, in contrast, that hydrocarbons are naturally
produced on a continual basis throughout the solar system, including
within the mantle of the earth. The advocates believe the oil seeps up
through bedrock cracks to deposit in sedimentary rock. Traditional petro-
geologists, they say, have confused the rock as the originator rather
than the depository of the hydrocarbons.
Giora Proskurowski
Lost City is a hypothermal field some 2,100 feet below sea level that
sits along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge at the center of the Atlantic Ocean,
noted for strange 90 to 200 foot white towers on the sea bottom.
In 2003 and again in 2005, Proskurowski and his team descended in a
scientific submarine to collect liquid bubbling up from Lost City sea
vents.
Proskurowski found hydrocarbons containing carbon-13 isotopes that
appeared to be formed from the mantle of the Earth, rather than from
biological material settled on the ocean floor.
Carbon 13 is the carbon isotope scientists associate with abiotic origin,
compared to Carbon 12 that scientists typically associate with biological
origin.
Lost City Vents
Proskurowski argued that the hydrocarbons found in the natural
hydrothermal fluids coming out of the Lost City sea vents is attributable
to abiotic production by Fischer-Tropsch, or FTT, reactions.
The Fischer-Tropsch equations were first developed by Nazi scientists who
created methodologies for producing synthetic oil from coal.
"Our findings illustrate that the abiotic synthesis of hydrocarbons in
nature may occur in the presence of ultramafic rocks, water and moderate
amounts of heat," Proskurowski wrote.
The study also confirmed a major argument of Cornell University physicist
Thomas Gold, who argued in his book "The Deep Hot Biosphere: The Myth of
Fossil Fuels" that micro-organisms found in oil might have come from the
mantle of the earth where, absent photosynthesis, the micro-organisms
feed on hydrocarbons arising from the earth's mantle in the dark depths
of the ocean floors.
Affirming this point, Proskurowski concluded the article by noting,
"Hydrocarbon production by FTT could be a common means for producing
precursors of life-essential building blocks in ocean-floor environments
or wherever warm ultramafic rocks are in contact with water."
Finding abiotic hydrocarbons in the Lost City sea vent fluids is the
second discovery in recent years adding weight to the abiotic theory of
the origin of oil.
As WND reported in 2005, a NASA probe to Titan, the giant moon of Saturn,
discovered abundant Carbon-13 methane that the agency declared to be
abiotic in origin.

>Discovery backs theory oil not 'fossil fuel'
http://www.americanfreepress.net/html/gull_island_oil.html
Crude oil is the real ?currency? of the world,? said Lindsey Williams
at a gathering of the Midwest Concerned Citizens group in Kansas City
on July 22. But Americans will never hear about huge oil and gas
reserves in the United States, which, if ever tapped, would bring
today?s fuel prices at least as low as $1.50 per gallon and make
America more energy independent.
As a Baptist missionary in the 1970s, Williams said he rubbed elbows
with members of the world?s power elite?who boasted of detailed
30-year and 50-year plans to control the flow of oil and information.
A huge quantity of crude oil and natural gas exists under Gull Island,
located in the waters of Prudhoe Bay in Alaska, says Williams. He
cited key British Petroleum memoranda and related the statements of
upper echelon oil officials who told him that Gull Island would be
kept under wraps, limiting domestic supplies so Americans would
someday see prices hit up to $10 a gallon at the pump.
?Every issue in the world today relates to crude oil,? said Williams.
The U.S. occupation of Iraq and the saber rattling about attacking
Iran fit into the crude oil matrix.
Iran is being targeted because it?s one of several countries that want
to use their own currencies for oil sales, rather than using the U.S.
dollar. Williams told AFP that any country that doesn?t want to ?play
ball? with the U.S. government and the financial and oil interests is,
in essence, put on a hit list.
The United States, he said, learned that Iran intended to form its own
bourse and not use the dollar for oil sales. Therefore, the notion
that Iran is a menacing ?almost-nuclear? country was trumped up,
presented as fact via the corporate media and Iran is now in the
crosshairs.
Other nations wanting more independence from U.S. meddling include
Norway, Venezuela, Nigeria, Bolivia, Sweden and Russia.
The 30-year plan, which was first proposed three decades ago and is
nearing fruition, included smug assurances from oil officials that the
United States will triple its crude-oil usage and alternative fuels
will not be allowed to gain enough ground to make a difference. They
also noted that all foreign oil production will be scaled back to the
United States and that Americans soon will pay $4 to $5 a gallon at
the pump and could pay as much as $7 to $10 down the road.
In the early 1960s crude oil was selected as a tool of world control,
Williams said, adding, ?What we pay at the gas pump is a form of
taxation.? The American consumer?s dependence on crude oil thus far
has enabled people from foreign oil-producing nations to buy T-bills
(U.S. treasury notes) in order to support the U.S. national debt and
continued deficit spending. The need to support that debt puts the
U.S. government in a bind, forcing Americans to remain dependent on
foreign oil.
Williams, as a chaplain in 1970 when the trans-Alaskan oil pipeline
was finished, ministered among the pipeline workers. However, as time
passed he made a favorable impression with the top brass and was asked
to improve worker-company relations. Next thing he knew, he said he
was sitting at meetings of the World Bank, the International Monetary
Fund and various meetings of oil executives over a three-year period.
He told AFP that the IMF-World Bank acts as a middleman between oil
producing nations and refineries. In so doing, they set oil prices, he
said.
The big event in that three-year period was in 1977 when an Atlantic
Richfield oil executive told him, ?We have just drilled into the
largest pool of oil in North America?[and] in the world!?
That pool was Gull Island. It was said that there was enough natural
gas to supply America for 200 years. But to this day, ?not one drop?
of that oil has been released to American refineries, Williams said.
Williams said the executive had warned him that the Gull Island find
was highly classified. Do not repeat any of this, he was told.
Obviously, that warning did not stop him.
Anyone for turning lead into gold?

We need to hear a huge sucking sound from the North and we need to hear it
now! The Liberals have never ever done anything for any country but pave
the way to wars. I say, drill in the North and the lefties be damned! We
get one in the white house now in these times and we have Huge problems a
coming.

Dr. Rampol Stiltskin at the same University has already done that with straw. He
just doesn't want his name mentioned.

Snark!
I can't stop laughing about this one.
Tell me, Scratch, did you invest in that biblical oil scam as well?
Ha! Any last straw you can grasp.

Hardly matters - we're pumping it faster than the earth can make it,
however it might be made.
The supply may be "endless" but once we're drawn down the surplus
accumulated during the last several hundred million years, the supply is
going to become exceedingly meager.
Peace and justice,

What it does is to absolutely disprove your Creation Myths.
And as soon as you provide evidence, we can have a good laugh.
Just a hint. I already said who I was to a long time stalker. Maybe you can
get with the times we can have a laugh. He's already convinced he knows who
I am.
What's funnier, really, is that you continue to hide who you are.

Some of us have outted you as Dave Thompson, yet
you've so far ignored those comments. Whatever.
