Natural selection is voodoo science. Just ask any of the evolutionists and you will hear a different answer. natural selection makes absolutely no sense.

So, you do believe dinosaurs lived before man...that's good anyway, but, according to the bible, god created everything in a 6 day period (Gen 1:5). How would that leave time for dinosaurs to live and die millions of years before man?
Natural selection does not always favour the biggest or fastest, natural selection cares not if an animal survives or dies off, it is emotionless and impartial. Natural selection is the process of random mutations being beneficial or not for survival in the environment. If the mutation is beneficial, the species will thrive and these mutations passed on genetically, if it is a detrimental mutation, then the species will die off.

Wrong. Natural (not nature) selection couldn't care less about size, swiftness, or brain power. Eventually conditions on Earth will change again as they did for the dinosaurs and we will be "selected" (it's a metaphor) for extinction. Who knows what will fill the gap we leave? Only that it will be better adapted for survival than we are - just like our ancestors 65m years ago were better than most of the dinosaurs.
After the meteor impact off western Mexico the atmosphere caused a collapse in the climate that ended with a dramatic drop in the food supply for these larger animals. Without light, vegetation becomes scarce, without vegetation, plant eaters will dwindle, without plant eaters, meat eaters will dwindle. Anything that can survive has the advantage... that's evolution.

The dinosaurs were too big for the post-impact climate. Natural selection works.

No, it was an asteroid. Big, strong creatures need to breathe a lot of air, and that's a problem when it's full of soot from a asteroid leaving a large hold in the earth.
If there is a god, why did he make dinosaurs, just to wipe them out? Will he wipe us out for his next idea?

There is no proof of that or any reason to believe it. A comet killed the dinosaurs, not God. In order to make a claim such as that, you must back it up with evidence.

This is a question better suited for the biology section. In any case, science shows us that bigger is not necessarily better. For example, very large animals need very large amounts of food, which can disappear very fast in some situations.

It's Natural Selection. Makes more sense, doesn't it?

Nope - not god unless he was from out of space and hit the earth just south of the USA.
Humans did not appear until 60 million years later.
