Does the formation of oil disprove JW's creation time line?

    Oil is a fossil fuel that is buried deep into the ground and under the sea.

    Oil was formed when tiny plants and animals died in ancient seas at a

    minimum 10 million years ago and perhaps up to 60 million years ago.

    If plants and animals were created on God's 5th or 6th creative day and

    these days were, as I remember 7,000 years long, how could oil be 10

    million years old? Some of these oil wells are 5 miles deep which points

    out how long the dead vegitation and animals were alive on the earth.

    I never thought about this when I was an active JW. How would JW's

    corelate the formation of oil with the length of the Watchtower teaching

    of a creative day being 7,000 years?

    God put it there, he wanted to confuse the scientists and bring out their real motivations. He doesn't want scientists in the new world.

    That teaching of a day being 7000 years has changed.

    The GB received new light directly from heaven but they don't talk about it as much

    as they did after the 1975 screw up.

    JW doctrine is safe and sound. It is likelly evident that dinosaurs were fornicating a lot.

    Yes that true and there are many other factual geological formations, debunking the Genesis account and the 6000 year age of the earth.

    Mind you those account cultures thousands of years ago had no idea what oil was.

    The Jerusalem Institute of Technology wasn't founded until 10 AD.

    It's many years ago that the 7,000-years days were shown to be an incorrect understanding.

    The famous scholarly book: Life how did it get here.....says those creation days are very long periods of time. ......I'm sure since they said so scientist have discovered this too and changed their views......
