Then you weren't reading the article very carefully.

"Although the abiogenic hypothesis was accepted by some geologists in the former Soviet Union, most geologists now consider the abiogenic formation of petroleum scientifically unsupported.[1] Although evidence exists for abiogenic formation of methane and hydrocarbon gases within the Earth,[2][3] studies indicate they are not produced in commercially significant quantities (i.e. a median abiogenic hydrocarbon content in extracted hydrocarbon gases of 0.02%).[4] The abiogenic origin of petroleum has also recently been reviewed in detail by Glasby, who raises a number of objections, including that there is no direct evidence to date of abiogenic petroleum (liquid crude oil and long-chain hydrocarbon compounds).[1]"

Are you for real, or are you just here to play games? Games are good, but not to be taken seriously. "

Yes, by those who suffer cranial-rectal inversion.

Like "they" say, "Ain't no atheists in foxholes."

The "coal people" and the "tar sand people" say that there is at least another 200 years of torturing the environment to go.

Yes I am sure.

Read your statement again. You were trying to imply that the consensus has changed. (At least that's the way I read it.)

Of course there is room for doubt. It's just that the current consensus is for a biogenic origin. There's a very small doubt.

yes, the methane that is locked up in the land and especially the hydrates in the oceans is a huge concern. Those hydrates are obviously being released by deep water drilling too, one cause of the failure of the "caps" on the gushing well.
