Interesting theory
I saw this posted on another site, I was wondering what your thoughts on this are.

Due to my background as an engineer, I would have to say that I would be willing to buy into this theroy.....but, it's a theroy till proven otherwise.

Very interesting, but as you said it is just a "theroy" (I think you mean "theory"). I have often wondered where oil really came from. How many dinosaurs would it actually take to produce the amount of oil that we have already taken out of the Earth to date? It seems like there is some other source or aspect that we are missing and this article, although speculative, brings up a possible scenario. I guess time will tell.

Thanks for the interesting article. The links it contained were good too. In scandanavia they seem to be having some luck confirming this theory. They are drilling and producing some oil through granite formations. Instead of the traditional shale formations usually associated with crude oil resevoirs.
I had a coworker that used to joke that if we kept producing all the earth's oil we would someday run out. Then the bearings that the earth's axis spins on would seize up and the world would stop turning!

I guess the biggest problem I have with the "dino" theory is that Reserves + Used = prehistoric organic life.
If we are cranking out 25 billion barrels a day of crude oil for a year (9.125 trillion barrels a year)(not counting previous years) wouldn't have all of the oil created by prehistoric life been exhausted in just a few years?

Hey, after learning that the planet Uranus is upside down (N-S magnet poles) and spinning backwards as compared to all other planets, I can believe the renewable oil thing.
Our world and the rest of existance is just a wee bit complex, quite often throwing a "Whoa, how about that!" right in our face.
I wish one of those oil pumps would spring a leak at my house!

I looked around the site to get a better point of reference and it seemed a bit... shady. This sounds like flat-earth conspiracy stuff to me.
I'll stop there at risk of saying inflamatory stuff.
