But Oil may not be a fossil fuel. It may well be left over from the
formation of the solar system.

What evidence for that is there?


Here are some of the points of circumstantial evidence for that theory:

1) Oil was found on Mars

2) Oil was found in Sweden at the rim of a meteorite crater that punctured
the earth's crust millions of years ago. There were none of the porous
coral-reef ocean-sediment formations that normally hold oil were found, and
are postulated to be where oil must be formed by ancient lifeforms.

3) The Earth's core contains a large amount of silicon carbide, as well as
radioactive elements. In theory, hydrocarbons should be a bi-product of the
radioactive decay process, and being very light, should rise towards the
surface, where it would be trapped by porous reservoirs and sealed in by
impervious overburden.
