\Technically they won't last forever (perhaps even protons don't last forever, long before that becomes an issue the Earth might be swallowed by the sun), but they will last for an extremely long indefinite period of time. A billion years from now there will still be oil and natural gas in the Earth, and that seems like "forever", in normal human terms. What probably won't last forever is the ability to pull massive amounts of them out of the ground at a reasonable cost. That's what you are apparently claiming I'm saying will last "forever" (perhaps meaning as little as thousands of years, certainly not literally forever), but I certainly made no such claim.
