Default Question for the Creationists and their 6,000 year old earth.

OK,

I was doing some reading as usual and a question dawned on me that of course I felt I immediately needed to pose to all of you folks here on AF.

On a side note.. man it sure is nice to have a place like this to post questions like these.

Ok so on with my question.

It is widely known and accepted that one major reason Creationists buck the Evolutionist claim is their belief that the earth is fairly young. About 6,000 to 1,0000 years old actually (First line, first paragraph). So my question to those that follow that line of logic is this.... putting aside all the ommissions in the bible that require some pretty creative excuses to explain away, what about oil?

You see we know oil takes millions of years to create. How do we know this? Well the answer that most ordinary folk like you and I would understand is simple. In these days of recently spiking gas prices, if it were possible to produce oil from organic substances in just a few hundred or thousand years wouldn't we be doing so?

Can anyone explain that?
