73.   Excess Fluid Pressure

a . “It is certain that at the present time large areas of the Gulf Coast are underlain by zones containing water under pressure almost high enough to float the overlying rocks.” Parke A. Dickey et al., “Abnormal Pressures in Deep Wells of Southwestern Louisiana,” Science, Vol. 160, 10 May 1968, p. 614.

b . “Some geologists find it difficult to understand how the great pressures found in some oil wells could be retained over millions of years. Creationists also use this currently puzzling situation as evidence that oil was formed less than 10,000 years ago.” Stansfield, p. 82. [Stansfield had no alternative explanation.]

u Cook, Prehistory and Earth Models, p. 341.
