There's another much simpler explanation. A worldwide flood created a lot of pressure and a lot of heat (think volcanic eruptions worldwide en mass). That's what you need to make what is more properly called organic fuels, what you call fossil fuels (the term fossil fuels assumes evolution's billions of years, but we know it doesn't take that long).Coal is full of fossils including vegetable matter. Those large palm tree things are plentiful, from when they collapsed into the swamp. Then they became crushed and dried, then eventually became coal for people to burn in power stations. Any coal miner has seen impressive specimens of plants long since extinct (my relatives have, anyway). All around the world there are seams of coal.
So why didn't those plants rot down into compost for new plants to grow on, which is what happens within a few months to any pile of vegetable matter nowadays? The answer is simple. The organisms that cause rot hadn't evolved yet. Those seams were not placed there as a joke or a puzzle or a gift from spacemen, no matter what some grifter tells you from a pulpit. Palm trees evolved before fungi and beetles; that's all there is to it.
There is no observational evidence to prove your evolutionary claim, but you have to assume an absence of existing organisms. We can't observe my claim either. But we see the evidence of a worldwide flood all around the planet, and the theory matches known science today.
