I prefer, "How did the dinosaurs become extinct? We can only theorize since no eyewitness accounts exist."

How did the dinosaurs die out? While, with the help of modern science, we can make educated guesses, none of us can know for certain because none of us were there when it happened.
You're missing a step in the deductive process because science has been able to make some pretty darn good guesses as to how the dinosaurs died out, so failing to acknowledge that makes your statement incomplete and, therefore, inaccurate.

on account that "What the heck?" is honestly a extremely good translation of the Hebrew, you're accurate... no one has any theory ;-) ... ok, the communicate on the concern of its naming in Exodus 16 (15 The Israelites were wondered even as they said it. “what's it?” they requested one yet another. they'd no theory what it become. Moses advised them, “it truly is the food the LORD has given you to devour. 16 those are the LORD’s preparation: each better 0.5 and little ones could carry jointly as a lot because it needs. %. up 2 quarts for each body on your tent.” ... Ex 16:31 The Israelites referred to as the food manna. It become white like coriander seed, and it tasted like honey wafers.) looks to teach it become some thing particularly unique to their questioning. Donut holes of a few form may be fairly close. They were no longer used to breads made with fantastic textured flour -- honestly no longer at present's white flour, yet this would were everywhere alongside that scale -- coarse as they were acquainted with or fantastic to be more effective unusual... both way works.

"What brought about the extinction of the dinosaurs? No one can know for sure, as no one was around back then."
you might just consider changing the whole second sentence to something else entirely, it's extremely awkward no matter how you word it (in a scholarly way). What's the context?

No. Should read: How did the dinosaurs die? OR better yet, What caused the extinction of the dinosaurs?

I think it would sound better if you said "How did the dinosaurs die out? None of us know because we weren't alive back then."
