No serious scientist claims that oil comes from dinosaurs. That was something erroneous put into children’s textbooks years ago. Kind of like how eating carrots makes your eyesight better, until someone went back and checked the math and found that they have missed several decimal places. The science of petroleum, as algore would say, is settled. Google kerogen. Tasmanites.

It’s possible that you and I may be on the same page. I subscribe to the abiotic theory of crude oil origin. The biotic theory has never made sense to me.
