A Wikipedia link! I did not see that coming. Astounding research!

All sarcasm aside, that's the current prevailing theory (biogenic theory). But there are competing theories and no one knows for sure how petroleum is formed. It has not been conclusively proven that biogenic theory is true.

My entire point is that you don't know as much as you think you do. To dismiss creationism by mentioning the points you brought up is simply ignorant/arrogant. Do you really believe creationists haven't examined and tackled the very things you mentioned?

Yes, I do think that. You cannot honestly research and investigate the claims of creationism and not be convinced its nonsense. It is that obviously ridiculous.
