Vidgun I trust the reliability of the AP News, but not of wild claims plastered on social media sites without adequate supporting documentation. At https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-bill-gates-foundation-name-952700093300 they say "Gates Foundation wasn’t named the Institute for Population Control".
Where is your source for the photo and the information about the electric cars? Without a source, the photo of cars parked in a lot is not any proof to me of your claim about the cars. Companies are in existence for the recycling of various kinds of electric batteries.
The sea ice in the Arctic is on a continuing melting trend (though obviously it freezes during winter).
Virtually all (if not all) of petroleum oil (and coal) extracted out of the ground was made by decay (under pressure) of vegetation (and maybe of animals) during massive extinctions many millions of years ago over millions of years and are thus fossil fuels. I learned that over 20 years ago from scientific articles/books. See https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/fossil-fuels/ for example. It says in part the following.
"Fossil fuels
are made from decomposing plants and animals. These fuels are found in
the Earth’s crust and contain carbon and hydrogen, which can be burned
for energy. Coal, oil, and natural gas are examples of fossil fuels. Coal is a material usually found in sedimentary rock deposits where rock and dead plant and animal matter are piled up in layers. More than 50 percent of a piece of coal’s weight must be from fossilized plants. Oil is originally found as a solid material between layers of sedimentary rock, like shale. This material is heated in order to produce the thick oil that can be used to make gasoline. Natural gas is usually found in pockets above oil deposits. It can also be found in sedimentary rock layers that don’t contain oil. Natural gas is primarily made up of methane."
https://www.discovermagazine.com/environment/why-well-never-run-out-of-oil says the following.
"The Origin of Oil
Unlike
coal, which is widely distributed throughout the world, petroleum is
more difficult to find and extract. Coal forms wherever plants were
buried in sediments in ancient swamps, but several conditions must exist
for petroleum — which includes oil and natural gas — to form.
The
first is an accumulation of algae and other microorganisms in shallow
seas, like those that periodically formed as the continents drifted
apart and moved together again over hundreds of millions of years.
Second, these microorganisms must get trapped in silt, which can happen
wherever giant rivers emptied into shallow seas. “There wouldn’t be much
oxygen, so they were preserved instead of rotting away,” says Roger
Anderson, a researcher at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of
Columbia University. Finally, these pools of dead microorganisms must be
subjected to the right conditions — say, a temperature of about 150
degrees, under pressure for a few million years. That prolonged
pressure-cooking causes chemical reactions that convert proteins,
carbohydrates, and other compounds in the material into crude oil. If
the temperature rises to about 200 degrees, the result will be natural
gas.
No matter where oil is
found, it is always a sign that the area once lay at the bottom of a
stagnant sea. And in places like the Salt Lake in Utah and the Black
Sea, oil continues to be formed today. In the Gulf of California, near
the Colorado River delta, researchers pulled up a mud sample and found
it laced with petroleum — a sure indication that, somewhere down below,
oil is now being formed. That may prove to be an oil-rich province
someday, but don’t rush just yet to bid for exploration rights, says
Anderson. “It’ll take about 10 million years before its ready.”Even
the most inhospitable locations are being made drill-friendly. A decade
ago, oil was discovered in just over 200 feet of water off the coast of
Newfoundland. Because icebergs flow through the area, no ordinary oil
platform would work. Then engineers hired by a group of oil companies
designed an iceberg-proof goliath. Its base is a huge 16-pointed star
made of 650,000 tons of concrete and steel. (The points, which are
supposed to deflect and break up icebergs, have not yet actually
collided with one.) The price: $4 billion. The platform, called the
Hibernia, is expected to recover 615 million barrels of oil over 15 to
20 years. That’s not much compared with, say, the 200 billion barrels
that Saudi Arabia holds in its oil fields. But it’s a good example of
how oil companies are branching out and squeezing oil from improbable
places.
Know Your HydrocarbonsFossil
fuels — the hydrocarbons known as peat, coal, oil, and natural gas —
are formed from the constituents of deeply buried and preserved organic
matter. They make good fuels because the energy stored in the bonds
between carbon and hydrogen is abundant and easy to release in
combustion with oxygen. Some hydrocarbons are simpler than others. Coal,
for example, is mostly carbon, while petroleum — which includes oil and
natural gas — is mostly carbon and hydrogen. Still, crude oil is
anything but simple. It’s made up of carbon molecules of many different
sizes. The lightest— — with the shortest carbon chains — make good
motor fuels because they are easily vaporized in engines. The heaviest
hydrocarbons form viscous oil, paraffin, and asphalt. But even the
longer carbon chains can be broken up chemically — in a process called
cracking — to create fuels made of lighter molecules."
Are you a young earth creationist? I am convinced of evolution. Non-evolutionary Creationism is at odds with the scientific evidence, but evolution is supported by science.
The book called "Daniel" was not written when it claims to have been written and it is not inspired by God, any god.
