About this episode

The episode discusses the rapid formation of oil and its implications for the age of the Earth, featuring insights from geologist Richard Bruce.

Does oil take millions of years to form? If it did, that would be proof positive that the earth could not be thousands of years old. Join Todd and Paul as the chat with geologist Richard Bruce all about the formation of oil. Not only can oil form rapidly, hot water makes it happen! Oil is uniquely explainable by a global flood.
