| − | There are two main types of oil. One is derived from plants, such as [[olive]]s, and the other, [[petroleum]], is obtained from geological sources. The latter is not formed by decayed matter, as that contradicts the Creationist worldview, but instead during a ''[[theobaric]]'' process. This oil existed in pristine state before the Flood, and moved during the Flood into the reservoirs where Noah emerged from the Ark, and where we now find it.<ref>[http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/arj/v1/n1/origin-of-oil Origin of Oil], Answers in Genesis</ref> Consequently much of the oil is found in the Middle East. | + | There are two main types of oil.
