“A question we hear routinely during trivial or not so trivial conversations is what was first, the chicken or the egg? In this case, after reading the literature I have to ask, what was first, the bird or the dinosaur? Or maybe the bird was always a bird and the dinosaur was always a dinosaur?”
― Roberto Aguilera, God and Petroleum

“Except for God, perfection doesn’t exist, thus the production and consumption of petroleum, which have contributed to so many advances of humanity, has also brought some problems that are discussed here. This is, of course, true of any other natural resources and also of inventions, which bring benefits to humanity but also some unwelcome situations. But overall, however, the benefits outweigh the problems by a significant margin.”
― Roberto Aguilera, God and Petroleum

“Enter the force of gravity. The same force that God created in the beginning together with time and space during the Big Bang. The distribution of matter throughout the universe wasn’t even, and there were space areas where the density was larger than in the other areas. It took millions of years, but over time gravity pulled many of the hydrogen atoms together at such high pressure that the compressed gas attempted to push the atoms apart. It was then a stalemate, the force of gravity bringing the atoms of hydrogen together vs. an opposing force trying to keep the hydrogen atoms apart.”
