There's a theory that says oil is generated deep within the earth and does not have a biotic origin. Although you can certainly make oil from biomatter, the argument is that what we pull from the earth is inorganic.

Abiotic oil theory is interesting but probably bullshit. The geologic processes that generate oil are pretty well understood, and due to the Earth's much warmer past with significantly more CO2 there were just absolutely enormous quantities of bio-mass that were generated and subsequently buried. Plus, plants made from cellulose existed for IIRC tens of millions of years *before* any organism evolved to break down and digest said cellulose.
Thanks for the information. You could be completely right. We're lied to about so many things, I tend to be very skeptical, but I know so little about geology that the whole abiotic thing could be a non-starter, as you suggest.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case. I have always wondered why we can extract plastic, a non-biodegradable material, from oil, a supposedly "biotic" material.
Since the oil comes from dinosaur corpses, they have bones right? The hydrocarbon composition of oil points to it coming from the meat/skin or the corpses, so where are the bones?
The problem with making it ourselves is the enormous energy input required makes it entirely economically infeasible. Petroleum got that energy input for "free" in the form of enormous amounts of heat and pressure due to geologic processes.
I'm pretty sure that violates the first law of thermodynamics. Moreover, it is unlikely that such a process could meet human needs. Burning diamonds for fuel might be possible, but we would run out before the first day was over.

Want to know what "fossil fuel" really is? It's a pseudo-alcoholic residue created by decayed plant matter that has first been starved of oxygen. How do you do this? Kill an ecosystem in the desert, where nothing lives and therefore nothing is around to consume it. The sand whips over the dying plant matter before it can be absorbed by the environment, where it's stored up, the sand forming a primitive vacuum, and eventually "fossilizes", if you could call it that, into crude oil. Much of this gets absorbed into rocks and lets off a smell we call "petrichor". Only fracking can get the oil out of these rocks, but will essentially mean we can use oil forever. Which is why the jews shill so hard against it and fire up the HAARP machines whenever someone tries to extract it.
Why do you think gasoline evaporates in air? Why do you think it "goes bad" if it isn't used in a while? Why do you think diesel gets pest? Why do you think sugar kills a gas tank? Because it's really just an avant-garde type of alcohol, as evidenced by ethanol. Look up the structure of Ethyl benzoate some time. It's a type of alcohol, yet has a structure almost identical to a hydrocarbon.
Pre-oil is peat. Peat forms where plants grow faster than they decay. Most of the organic matter that forms the peat is roots. The leaves and stems on the surface are exposed to oxygen and decay. But plants sink roots down to the water table to get water and nutrients. When the plant dies, the root dies. The dead root adds to the organic bulk which eventually compacts as the layers build upward until it becomes coal/oil. The key is the carbon content of the air. The higher the CO2, the faster plants grow. The faster plants grow, the wider the area where plant growth surpasses plant decay. In other words carbon is self regulating.
