You Know, God Is A Pretty Smart Feller

Picture this: A deepwater drilling rig suffers a catastrophic failure, and oil begins gushing uncontrolled into the Gulf. The flow doesn't stop for months, and the eco-nuts are telling us that we may never recover from this. They paint nightmare scenarios about how our cleanup effort will have to be equally massive if we ever want to have clean gulf water again.

And meanwhile, nature is quietly and efficiently cleaning up the mess all on its own.

"Our findings, which provide the first data ever on microbial activity from a deepwater dispersed oil plume, suggest a great potential for bacteria to help dispose of oil plumes in the deep-sea," Hazen said in a statement.

Environmentalists have raised concerns about the giant oil spill and the underwater plume of dispersed oil, particularly its potential effects on sea life. A report just last week described a 22-mile long underwater mist of tiny oil droplets.

"Our findings show that the influx of oil profoundly altered the microbial community by significantly stimulating deep-sea" cold temperature bacteria that are closely related to known petroleum-degrading microbes, Hazen reported.

God's a pretty smart feller, don't you think?


Knowing that oil may, from time to time, leak out of the sea bed and into the ocean, God created various forms of bacteria to break that oil down so that the sea life wouldn't all die. He made bacteria that lives in shallow water and deep water, warm temperatures and cold temperatures... and that bacteria started multiplying the MOMENT that the oil leak began.

Just another example that the eco-nuts are, well, crazy. Not to mention that the ecology isn't NEARLY as fragile as they seem to think. God built in some checks and balances.

And God is generally a pretty smart feller.
