nO! Dinosaur bones are usually petrified, which means the original materiel isn't there, just a sort of mineral casting of the original item, so they're sort of stone/cement thingies occuring from natural transformations over time, same with petrified wood.

I'd lean all the way to no on that. They are fossils certainly, but it would take a heck of a torch to get them lit up for fuel use. That type of fossilization involves mineral replacement, and basically you are dealing with a very shapely sedimentary rock. Not a hydrocarbon like petrolium or a pure carbon like coal.

You are leaning correctly, fossil fuels are decomposed remains which under pressure have become hydrocarbons. Fossil bones and petrified wood are remains that have not decomposed but have been infused with other minerals like quartz.

Simple. The 6 days of creation were not 24 hour days. I can prove that even with the bible. A day of a 24 hour rotation was not even made until the fourth day. This verse begins the fourth day of creation. Gen 1:14 "Then God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years;" So that proves the first 3 days were not 24 hour days. The Apostle Peter says,"A day is as a 1000 years to the Lord". So put all that together and there is the story of the beautiful system of evolution beginning it's process. Somehow the dinasaurs were part of that process. Adam and Eve were not the first created homo sapiens. They were the first humans that had a soul, an awareness of God and of right and wrong. Hence God says on the 6th day, "Let us make man in our image," because in that "day" (1000's of years?) man evolved to be the only animal to be like God knowing good from evil.

No, they are not fossil fuels.
The term fossil fuels refer to items like coal and oil.

They are fossils, an ingredient of fossil fuels.
Fossil fuels are fuels consisting of the remains of preserved organisms.

Yes, but VERY decomposed. So fossil fuels are actaully fossils.

They are not. They are actually preserved remains. Fossil fuels are: Oil, coal and natural gas.

No not the bones them selves, but what came from them, The oils from them are. The fat, meat, skin, and so on. For trees it was the leaves and the resins in them. In the bark, three and leaves.
