How did Dinosaurs get here?

Question

i've been wondering this all day long.

YES i do believe that dinosaurs "roamed the earth"

Answer 1

They were descendents of non-dinosaur archosaurs.  An informal group sometimes called thecodonts includes the ancestors of dinos.

Answer 2

evolution and genetic mutation same as us innit?

Answer 3

i personally believe God made them, read Genisis from the Bible it will tell you all about it. its actually really fascinating

Answer 4

A lot of bible bashers here for a science forum. I'm sorry, but saying that "God did it" is not a satisfactory answer. It's completely untestable and makes a mockery of the scientific acquisition of knowledge.

If you've been wondering about where the dinosaurs came from, a simple piece of research on google or wikipedia would have provided your answer. If we all went around saying that God is responsible for every last phenomena, we would get very far as a civilisation.

Answer 5

read the bible verse, in genesis, after the creation of plant.

Answer 6

they evolved from simpler life forms, just like everything else

Answer 7

Their ancestors and mammals both developed at the end of the Permian.  The permian extinction killed something like 90% of species on Earth.  Early dinosaurs, small and agile, were among the few survivors.  They out competed every other animal and spread over the earth diversifying into a myriad of forms.  Mammals stayed small for the next 150 million years: the size of squirrels or rats.  Dinosaurs would still be lords of creation if it werent for a large asteroid 65 million years ago at Chixulub.  Instead the small mammals survived, diversified, and one branch led to homo sapiens.  You exist because of a large space rock.

Answer 8

Every thing that exist in this universe is created by the almighty GOD himself. The question is why. Of course the course of evolution is also set by Him. Its not like the dinosaurs came here in existence all of a sudden. But know this, we did not come from monkeys. The history of mankind is older then the earth itself. And one thing i can not resit but share the knowledge with you is, we are not the first intelligent life to be on earth. Before humans there was an ancient race that dominated to planet, and they almost went extinct, but all i know that they are still here and they number more than the humans. They are known as the "Jinn". Ever felt you are being watched...haha no wonder we get that feeling all the time. The thing is that they are living in a different dimension we can not see yet or don't have the technologies. But one day we will. I wonder what will happen then since it is the nature of human to dominate all the species. Of and don't get surprised if i say that this race has existed before the time of the dinosaurs and they still do. LOL The even that almost wiped the dinosaurs also wiped a large part of their civilization. Well that is my theory and i am still looking for answers if the two events have any connections. Um you starting to think i am crazy lol i get that a lot. Just know this we are not alone, certainly not the only intelligent life on earth.

Anyway take care.

Answer 9

God

yes you could say they evolved from earlier life forms, small land vertebrates, aquatic vertebrates, invertebrates, bacteria, but how did the bacteria get there? meteors from other planets bringing bacteria, ok well how did that bacteria come into existence?, how did the planets come into existence? the big bang, well how did matter come into existence?
