In recent days there have been several posts claiming all the fossil fuels we have were the result of the vegetation that existed at the time of the flood. I disagreed with this and stated that there was not enough vegetation alive at time to account for all we have used and all that remains. Here is more to validate my opinion.
"In 2003, the biologist Jeffrey Dukes calculated that the fossil fuels we burn in one year were made from organic matter "containing 44 x 1018 grams of carbon, which is more than 400 times the net primary productivity of the planet's current biota". In plain English, this means that every year we use four centuries' worth of plants and animals."
