The only problem is, when they went back in just a few years it seems that the ocean had already taken care of the problem. Instead of decades it only took a few years for the ocean to cleanse itself of the petro problem.
Just this week we see where scientists have found, in the deepest part of the oceans, animal life that actually feeds on petroleum that oozes out of the ocean floor.
Seems like God has everything figured out to balance out the system.

It's not quite a "balance" there at the ocean depths, not entirely anyway. A lot, perhaps most of that petroleum is in in closed cycle at very great depths. The petroleum on the continents used be green and living organic matter that was breathing CO2 and converting it into oxygen.
It is an "imbalance" in my opinion, to leave that petroleum and its carbon locked away in the rocks. We must release the carbon from petroleum, coal and natural gas in order to return it to the biosphere.
What if the "reason" we are here is just for this purpose? What if we're supposed to be burning fossil fuels in order to prepare the planet for a great renewal?
