In a geology course I took in undergrad, I was under the impression that successfully locating fossil fuels that can be used for production purposes requires understanding the mechanics of how fossils form and how long the organic material has to be fossilized, which explicitly requires deep time. Young Earth Creationism cannot be used as a model for providing the world’s oil, and our professor made sure that we understood those implications.

Pat Robertson (who considers young earth to be an embarrassment to his sort of Christian) uses that very example.
