Chevron has discovered oil 30,000 feet under the Gulf of Mexico. If oil is the result of decayed organic matter ("dinosaurs"), how did it get down 30,000 feet?

The same way the coal in the Himalayas is 12,000 ft above sea level
Oil is heavier than rock, so it sinks
I don't know and I don't want to know
fossil fuel has nothing to do with dinosars
The Earth was hit by a planet which caused massive change
God made everything at the same time - 10,000 years ago
The ocean has been rising 2 inches every 100 years for a billion years
The floor of the ocean used to be 30,000 ft deeper
Failed Scuba Diving Dinosaurs. Yes, that's got to be it.
"Science" is wrong. Oil, coal and natural gas are not "fossil" fuels
The weight of the water has pushed the sea floor down 6 miles
If the seabed was 6 miles further down, the ocean surface has risen 6 miles
Someone should ask Nobel Prize winner Al Gore that question
China put it there for future use
I noticed the line "If oil falls below $40, this drilling becomes prohibitively expensive"
Oil is not organic - it is created constantly by the core and moves up
Sedimentary rocks were laid down faster in the Gulf than the ocean
How did we get up 30,000 feet?
God used a great big scoopy thing and buried the dinos
