Oil

This page lists articles that have similar names. To remove any ambiguity, the differences are described here.

There are two main types of oil. Organic oils are derived from from plants and other types of organic matter, such as olives. Mineral oils, such as petroleum, are 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. Consequently, much of the oil is found in the Middle East, in addition to massive deposits in Canada and Venezuela.
