What killed of the dinosaurs?

Question

thanks to all who are answering. some of those answers are giving me a good laugh. sorry about the thumbs down, someone out there has nothing better to do.

Answer 1

Evolutionists say the dinosaurs died out about 65 million years ago.  How?  Well, I’ve read that there are over 50 different theories.  Let me just list a few.

1. Small mammals eating dinosaur eggs.

2. New narcotic plants evolving.

3. Global cooling/global warming.

4. Loss of plants causing herbivores to starve which in turn caused the carnivores to starve.

5. A supernova exploded nearby, spraying the earth with radiation.

6. A passing comet poisoned the earth with chemicals.

One of the current favorites is the “deep impact” theory proposed by the geologist Walter Alvarez in about 1980.  This theory states that a meteor strike caused dramatic climate changes much like a “nuclear winter” which supposedly caused the extinction of the dinosaurs and many other animals.  His evidence was his discovery of an alleged world-wide layer of clay with a high iridium content, which is found in meteorites.  Well, there are plenty of papers that talk about the problems with this theory.  One, is that the earth’s core also has iridium in it that can be brought up by volcanos.  Many Creationists believe Noah's flood would have caused the greatest volcanoes that there have ever been, and some believe God pelted the earth with meteors during the flood as well.  And why did the alleged impact kill off the dinosaurs while many other forms of life that you would expect to die remained healthy (for example, some extremely light-sensitive species in the ocean survived)?

Plenty of evolutionists though, don’t think dinosaurs are extinct anyway.  The entrance to the bird exhibit at the Cincinnati zoo in Ohio had a sign that said:  ÃƒÂ¢Ã‚€ÂœDinosaurs went extinct millions of years ago—or did they?  No, birds are essentially modern short-tailed feathered dinosaurs.”

If you look at the popular evolutionists’ “dinosaur family tree” you will see that they say birds evolved from an ancestor of the theropod dinosaurs.  But this dinosaur family tree does not present observed scientific fact.  Rather, it presents assumptions, hypotheses and beliefs as if they are observed fact.

Now, one thing you have to realize is that bird evolution is one of the most controversial areas in evolutionary paleontology and evolutionists often disagree and criticize each other.

And we hear a lot of reports of feathered dinosaurs being found, but what you rarely hear, is that the main candidates are believed by many experts to simply be frayed collagen fibers, or hair like structures that could have supported a frill or crest like those on iguanas, or are on animals that are not dinosaurs, but flightless birds.  The drawings are certainly not what we find; they are just the artists’ imagination.  

Dr. Alan Feduccia, a world authority on birds and an evolutionist, along with his coworkers have presented a substantial body of evidence to support their view that there are, in fact, no known dinosaurs with feathers (they believe birds evolved from different reptiles called crocodilomorphs, but not dinosaurs).

Answer 2

Fred Flintstone and his incredible appetite LOL

Answer 3

what killed the dinosaurs is a giant meter wich caused the earth to get very cold. so cold that it killed the dinosours. not only that killed the dinosours. valcanos and other  stuff like that killed them too.

Answer 4

There are many ideas however no one know for sure.  Some people believe that a global climate change or Ice Age killed off these creatures.  Some take a step further say the Ice Age was caused by a giant meteor striking the Earth and throwing tons of dust and debris into the atmosphere thus reducing sunlight and cooling the Earth.  Other believe climate shift naturally occur every few millenniums.  Finally Darwins believe that evolution killed these beasts.  The dinosaur evolved to some of the current creature we still see today therefor nothing killed the dinosaurs.  Each of these theory have supporting evidence although none are conclusive.

Answer 5

Dinos aren't dead, haven't you seen Barney and his little pal Baby Bop?? Jeeze I thought everybody knew that!!!

Answer 6

they ate each other.

they evolved into humans.

Answer 7

A HUGE METIOR!! DUH!! LOl!! jk!!!

Answer 8

the CIA's introduction of crack cocaine to their community.  wait, that is Rev. Wright I'm thinking of.

modern thought is a cataclysmic event of an asteroid hitting the earth around Yucatan caused severe climatic change.

Answer 9

me.

mwahahahahahahaha

Answer 10

Fred Flintstone...... alas, one too many bronto burgers!

Answer 11

prolly the things from space

Answer 12

Environmental changes, weather, drop of sea level, increase or decrease in gases.

Meteorite crashes down to earth

Changes in the food chain and the bigger predators die off in starvation because they eat all the prey.

We kicked them into the depths of a black hole. :)

You choose.

Answer 13

meteorites or fire came from the sky. i think i cnt remember reallty

Answer 14

I just got to say this... This question has been asked so many time on this website. Now that I got that over with, I'll spit out what killed the dinosaurs. The Dino's got sore and died, therefore, they were called dinosaurs, isn't that self explanatory? Lol, I'm kidding, but the dinosaurs were likely to have dies from some kind of disease rather than a volcanic eruption. So the possibility of a volcanic eruption killing the dinosaurs is very slim. There is a crater in the Earth that you may know about. It is the size of five football fields. This crater is likely to have been caused by an asteroid. Thus, this could have killed the dinosaurs. But I like my theory of a deadly disease better.

Answer 15

I heard it was the ice age!

Answer 16

No one knows, but theories include an asteroid hitting the earth and disease for example.

Answer 17

So easy a cave man can do it.
