obviously the previous answer is incorrect, the true answer is that natural gas and oil is NOT minerals because they both lack a crystal structure and a solid form.

That's not correct either: I am not sure about natural gas, but oil is regarded as a mineral. Although many minerals are indeed crystalline, that property does not necessarily define a mineral. Coal, iron-ore and clay are amorphous minerals, too, for example.
