Was all oil once living?

I'm not a geologist, but I've heard it said that not all oil is of fossil origin. There are models of how hydrocarbons can be produced abiotically. I don't think this is the consensus viewpoint, but I don't think they know absolutely for sure either.





Pretty long wiki article on it:

According to the environmentalist, yes. According the creationist, no.
