On one hand, yes I am sad the dinosaurs became extinct, but on the other hand I'm glad there not still around to become extinct in my lifetime. I'm more sad that wooly mammoths are extinct than 50 ton meat eating dinosaurs.

The only reason I would like to see living dinosaurs today is for scientific study and observation. Otherwise the dinosaurs extinction was a natural occurence and gave rise to the mammals and, possibly, man.

Not really. Actually, I'm rathered relieved to know that theyre are not gigantic lizard-like predators roaming the Earth waiting to my flesh and bones, lol. On the other hand, I am somewhat concerned with the manner in which the dinosaurs became extinct. The reason why is because we have two more doomsday asteroids on collision pattern with Earth. The most serious of which is scheduled for impact in about 400 hundered years, and while I'm sure it would suck to be them, it doesnt concern me. There is another one, on the other hand, that could possible hit Earth within the next 13-17 years depending on any variance in its orbit, ie collision with another rock, etc.

From movies like Jurassic Park, many people think that all the dinosaurs were enormous, invincible killing machines—humans are just too small, dumb, and weak to have lived during the time of the dinosaurs.

The truth is, humans live in a world that is still home to many incredible, large, and intimidating creatures. Large reptiles like the Komodo Dragon, anacondas, alligators, and crocodiles don’t keep man from flourishing on the earth.

Elephants can get up to 11 tons (22,000 lbs). An elephant can kill a man by stepping on him with one foot or by striking him with his powerful trunk. Yet, we have no problem taming these animals or even training them to do tricks in the circus. If man can work, play, and even go to battle on an elephant, why couldn’t man do similar things with certain dinosaurs. Yes, some of the sauropod dinosaurs grew four times larger than an elephant, but most dinosaurs were smaller than an elephant.

Killer whales (Orcas), are one of the oceans’ fiercest predators. They eat hundreds of thousands of pounds of mammal and fish meat every year. Seals, sea lions, walruses, otters, polar bears, and even moose have all been found in the stomachs of these creatures. But these are captured, tamed, and trained to do tricks.

If humans today can manipulate animals that are over 100 times their own size, why is it so difficult to believe that humans and dinosaurs once inhabited the earth at the same time?

Remember Genesis 1:28, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

When man and large animals get together, whose in trouble? Blue whales get much larger than any of the dinosaurs, and it’s the blue whale that has nearly been hunted to extinction in the past.

A lot of people get their ideas about how animals behaved from Hollywood fiction. But is Hollywood trying to tell and accurate story or an entertaining story? Now think if the dinosaurs had survived today, but the elephant had gone extinct. They might have made a movie like Jurassic Park about elephants. You see, if we didn’t know how elephants behaved, they might have been perceived as monsters. The movie might portray them running around stabbing people with their tusks. Because what else would tusks be used for except for stabbing prey? They were sharp and pointy. Well no—elephants are gentle animals; now you don’t want to make one mad, but they are not monsters, they are just animals that God created for our enjoyment. Dinosaurs are the same; they are not monsters, but just animals God created.

As Dr. Jason Lisle has said, “You can’t tell the behavior of an animal by its bones any more than you could tell the behavior of me from my bones. You can make a guess, but that’s all it is.”

So, yes... I'm sad.
