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

-Mammals eating dinosaur eggs.
-New narcotic plants evolving.
-Global cooling/global warming.
-Loss of plants causing herbivores to starve which in turn caused the carnivores to starve.
-A supernova exploded nearby, spraying the earth with radiation.
-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?

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: “Dinosaurs 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.

Except the period K-T (which was their extinction) they died of old age, predation and other diseases not known yet

Comet. 65 millions years ago. Look for this on the web and you'll find all details, easily.

Old age, predation, disease, accidents. The usual causes.

the greeks killed them in europe. the chinese in asia and the egyptians in africa. in other places they were just crocodiles and lizards and no one bothered to kill them all.
