A large iron meteor from space hit in the Yucatan area. The meteor didn't kill the dinosaurs directly, but created a climate change beyond the dinosaurs ability to adapt.

This is not a religious question - unless you're ignorant enough to believe they drowned in Noah's flood! If you go to science you can ask the question in zoology or biology or just run a search since it has been asked many times before.
The simple answer is nobody knows - some kind of climatic upheaval but whether it was caused by an asteroid impact or a volcano or something else there is simply too little evidence to choose one hypothesis over another at the moment.

The flood changed the earth's atmosphere dramatically. The polar caps froze and the atmospheric pressure dropped dramatically. Ever wonder why the pterodactyl's wings wouldn't be able to support itself to fly? It was able to fly before the flood in the pressure that the water canopy over the earth maintained.
The water canopy over the earth blocked the number one reason for aging (UV rays). That is why people and animals lived so long. Ever wonder why "terrible lizards" got so large? Lizards grow till they die. If they lived 1000 years, that would be a huge lizard! Dinosaur means "terrible lizard".

A gigantic,collossal meteor crashed into our beloved planet even before man laid his first step on earth,thats the geological precambrian era.
This titanic collision led to massive perpetration of shock waves which in turn generated huge tidal waves and the like that took the dinos away like specks of flaying dust!and then came the hostile ice-age,which swipped away the remaining dinos.
Atleast,this is what that is hypothesized by the geological/paleaontological community..........we werent there to witness it....so God alone knows.....its an eternal mystery!

A gigantic methane expulsion from the earth. They literally suffocated because the methane took over the breatheable oxygen and allowed for the dinosaurs to die, while smaller animals began to thrive because of the now- extinct threat to life(like the first armadillo's and other mammals.)

It is said that the extinction of most life on earth was started by a meteor strike which caused a series of events.

Ask this in the science forum. This has nothing to do with religion or spirituality.
But, because I can't resist, paleontologists believe it was a chain of things set off by a huge meteor impact- likely the one whose crater is in the Yucatan.

In the Bible it talks about "beasts" with no name attached to them, there is a thoery that they are what we call dinosaurs today and that they are merely an extinct species.
