Calling it fossil fuel always has sounded like a fairy tale fabricated by idiots.

You just adequately described the author of this piece in WingNutDaily, actually.

This is now the THIRD article where this blithering idiot, Corsi, has claimed that the "fossil fuel" theory of petroleum holds that is "created by the debris of dead dinosaurs and ancient forests."

THAT IS ABSOLUTELY FALSE.

Here you have a moron writing articles about a subject he doesn't have the SLIGHEST clue about.

The accepted theory of oil formation by virtually all petroleum geologists is that it's formed by dead microscopic marine and lake plankton. Dinosaurs have nothing to do with it (this stupid myth is a result of a some widely-seen supposedly educational cartoons) and land forests form coal, not oil.

So this guy is arguing against a theory, and his only knowledge of that theory is cartoons. Pathetic.
