I  have to wonder where oil did come from? Lot's of dinosaurs & forests  
buried? Dinosaurs & forests under that one?  Is oil maybe  something else?
A good question-

I caught part of a late night radio broadcast about a week ago, George  Nori 
is the host (used to be Art Bell).   The guest was talking about  this very 
thing.   There are apparently a small number of geologists  that are 
beginning 
to believe that oil is created somehow deep in the earth, and  not solely 
through the decay of organic materials.   I have no idea,  myself.   Was 
taught 
that all fossil fuels come from decayed  prehistoric life.   Now there is 
some 
evidence to the  contrary.   Do I believe it?   Much of the stuff I was  
taught 
has turned out to be... hmmm... inaccurate.   So, verdict is  still out for 
me.
