How could scientists be wrong. After all, they've convinced all us non-scientists that, contrary to logic, oil is the leftover residue of hundreds of billions of dinosaurs who all conveniently died in just a few locations on earth, one on top of the next, so we could easily siphon off their remains in lots of 100+ million barrels per graveyard....

No they don't actually say that, and what you don't know about petroleum geology would obviously fill volumes.

Hint: The vast majority of petroleum is from *plant* matter. So is coal.

Really. Scientists say this? Interesting. I'd love to see the geology text that has that passage in it.
