Consume less and save the planet.

The idea of finite is still not absolute. It's all just guessing not to mention your statement holds as little value as God creating the universe. No proof and geniuses of equal intelligence and stature actually debate this. Considering we have enough oil for hundred and hundreds and hundreds of years (according to the same I.Q.s and this is what we know of) that means...well wait. That doesn't add up. If estimated consumption is applied to remaining resources and it even means we only have 100 years, well that would work. 30...33. But, they said well over a hundred years and this is just oil, not all of the resources as you stated. So...we have less than 66 years or resources as the consumption would increase over time so probably less than 50 years. Hm...this is news, you should call an emergency meeting.

By the way, we can try this all we want but for all we know this is how everything happens and everything just starts ALL over again in several billions years or less. No clue. Just the circle of life.

Anyone see The Happening.Freaky and awesome movie. Idk, just wanted to throw that out. Think nature would do such a thing, aside from the fact it couldn't because the wind isn't controlled by the plants, but still, aside from Hollywood mistakes.

eh?
so are you suggesting that there is an infinite amount of fossil fuel/resources available?

Of course. Because that makes perfect sense, considering that the world is infinite, and most definitely not a contained system and finite space.

When does a statement become credible? When it's spoken by Al Gore or Michael Moore? That statement came from the movie link I posted, which has an annotated script filled with all the references that you could probably find in your local library.

And oil isn't the only resource in the world...shall I call you George?

No the "idea" of finite is definite. It's not open to a lot of interpretation.

But, they said well over a hundred years and this is just oil, not all of the resources as you stated.

But over a hundred years ago, the world used very little oil. If they'd used up all the oil in the planet 100 years ago, it wouldn't have been much of a problem. If it happened today it'd be a pretty big problem. You may have noticed that most of us use cars today, and there aren't many of us using coal furnaces anymore.

By the way, we can try this all we want but for all we know this is how everything happens and everything just starts ALL over again in several billions years or less. No clue. Just the circle of life.

Just because it starts over again (in your head anyway) gives you justification for wanton waste of materials you did not create?
By that logic, why not go steal some cars and commit a few murders - after all it won't matter one wit in a billion years.
