== Where does Oil Come From? ==
According to a [[Young Earth Creationist]] model, a ''theobaric'' process produced the oil supply. During the Creation Week, God created a mature earth, and in the Garden of Eden, everything was ready for its first occupants. There must have been mature plants and trees to supply food for immediate consumption, and oil for various uses (e.g., anointing, lubrication - see [[oil#uses]]). It remained relatively undisturbed until the Noachian Flood.
This oil, created in deep primordial repositories during the Creation Week migrated upwards into present-day reservoirs during the Noachian Flood. During the Flood, intense geological activity occurred whilst the “fountains of the great deep” described in Genesis were active, though after day 150 of the Flood God said that the fountains were closed, so we would expect a sharp cut-off in hydraulic activity. During the Flood, the primordial repositories containing the hydrocarbons will have been breached and fluids released.<ref>[http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/arj/v1/n1/origin-of-oil Origin of Oil], Answers in Genesis</ref>
