Being taught in school that oil comes from the decomposed bodies of the dinasaurs,
if that is the case,did the same thing happen to all the human and other animals that died and were buried?
If this is a normal means of producing oil,why can the manner not be reproduced through scientific means?
any thoughts?

Hello, Mac!!! I don't remember very well my lessons of paleontology, but the oil needs ideal conditions and so much organic matter and many thousands year to be "maked". Animals buries can't be this factor... Sorry for the grammar errors, a just learning english... Happy MyLotting =)

hello prisamara,please don't worry about the language,I still mis-spell words myself,and English is my language.
I agree with you about the number of animals needed for the amount of oil in the ground up to now,but this is what I was taught in school,and as yet,have not heard from anyone explain otherwise,perhaps it can be reproduced in a fairly quick way that they do not want anyone to know,I do know there are many inventions that could take the place of oil,that the oil companies have bought the patents for and shelved,as it would stop them from making millions from oil products.
thank you for your comments.

I think that it can be reproduced but is way to expensive. After all we are talking about several million years under a great deal of pressure. Can't you just vision how big an area it would take.

actually I was thinking of all the mass graves caused by war that could become oil in a million years or so.
As with the dinasaurs and ancient man,none were cremated or enbombed before being buried,so could they not become oil?
thank you for your comment.
