Hypothetically speaking, if there were more dead dinosaurs in the past would there be more oil today? Are dinosaurs a leading source of oil? I know they're related to "fossil fuels", but do they contribute a lot to oil?

the carbon content of one tyrannosaur is equivalent to that in about 460 gallons of gasoline

So if people were to go back in time, steal some dinosaurs, make some kind of habitat on Mars, let them breed for a few decades, then killed them, sent them all back to when all the other dinosaurs died out, repeated this a million times, and then went back to present day there would be no Oil Crisis. Thanks Medusa!

Is this serious? Because I actually laughed out loud.

The question was serious, the topic/me not so much. xD

That's an awesome idea. I like the idea. The only problem is=

For animals to be turned into oil, they have to be left under massive ammounts of pressure for a few thousand years. For example: Evolutionists tend to agree that it takes millions of years for oil to form.

ID people (That's Intelligent Design) Tend to agree it's more like a few thousand years, which lines us nicely for Christian ID-ers who believe in Noah's flood.

So the choice is up to you. Go with the few thou' view of the people who believe in a God, or go with the popular trend in science and have them do it over millions of years.

Also, you might want to know that both evolutionists and ID-ers agree that most oil comes from marine organisms, not land animals.

And if you want any info on time travel, I contain a wealth of information regarding Einstein's Space-time theory about time and the possibility of fluctuating event horizons.
