That theory drives the gloomies nuts...they can't handle the thought of it.

I think its a lot closer to the truth than many will admit to for a while.

Creating that much oil would take a big pile of dead dinosaurs and fermenting prehistoric plants. Could there be another source for crude oil?

I don't know why the theory would be so far fetched. Titan is supposedly awash in hydrocarbons, for example. I know oil has organic properties, but there certainly could be another explanation other than the biogenic explanation. But I'm not a geologist or a chemist, so I don't know squat. :)
