    Here's one such thourough report that refutes the "enough oil for 200 years" argument. If you don't redefined "enough" to mean something different than at least 90 mbd.

    Comparing religious faith to evidence based "faith" is rather weird. I can for example predict with great certanty at what local time the sun will rise tomorrow since that event will be governed by the unbreakable natural laws that science has studied over centuries. We have a very good grasp of most of them. The state of our scientific knowledge and the theories of the universe's inner workings is not perfect, but our ability to predict most events is extremely accurate. Religious faith on the other hand is based on pure fiction and usually results in irrational behavior. My father for example is now about to have his seventh child even though he is now 51 years old. He will have to feed this child with his pension. He is in this position because he believes contraceptions are evil and abortion to be a deadly sin. I on the other hand think giving birth to a child that you cannot take care of properly us immoral. There is no evidence for deites, and there is no way to predict anything such as "the return of Jesus" or other such foolishness. I tolerate religious people since I believe freedom of speech and freedom in thought is vital to the development of the human race. We're not a very good race yet, we're quite primitive imo. "EVERYONE has faith." The biggest difference between atheists and religious people imo is that religious people believe in a variety of imagined incompatible gods due to their favorite storybook being old and usually shoved down their throat as children. Alas they think everything in that storybook to be true. Whereas atheists tend to put their "faith" in science that can be proven by experiments by anyone willing to repeat the experiment. If an experiment proves a theory wrong they will change their view of the universe. If they're any good that is. Obviously not all atheists are interested in science. Anyway, don't compare religious faith to scientific predictions. It's ridiculous.

    is far, far more abundant than any renewable energy source

    Obviously a renewable energy source is far far more abundant than a finite resource (such as natural gas). Natural gas extraction rate will peak soon, and it will have huge implications for home heating and electricity costs. See the work of Bengt Söderberg on natural gas and EU:s energy security for example. http://uu.diva-portal.org/smash/record.jsf?parentRecord=diva2:285433&pid=diva2:285447 for details.
