    That God put them there; therefore, they aren't fossil fuels.

    I know a kid who thought they were taking actual fossils and destroying them to make fuel. He was quite upset. Until I explained that was not the case. In fairness, he was only like 8 at the time.   He wants to be a paleontologist.

    Hmmmm ... would whale oil be classified as a fossil fuel?
    I mean, since the animal hasn't fossilized.
