How could dinosaurs have existed if they didn't evolve into anything else?

Answer 1

They did evolve into something else.

Here are some examples of what those dumb dinosaurs evolved into:

Al Gore

Bill Clinton

Lyndon Johnson

and some female variations:

Hillary Clinton

Nancy Pelosi

Margaret Sanger

Betty Friedan

I hope that helps!

Answer 2

lots of things existed and went extint without evolving. It is called an evolutionary dead end. In the case of the dinosaurs there were a lot od dead ends at the same time caused by a massive meteor crashing into the Earth off the coast of Mexico. A few of the dinosaurs had already evolved into early birds. Some of these were small enough to survive. But when a species goes extinct its evolutionary process ends. Evolution is a process of adaptation and survival. Only the survivors get to keep evolving. When the dinosaurs died, their line was cut forever with the exception of the few that survive as birds.

Answer 3

I must assume that you are joking with this question and really do not think that this is evidence that evolution is not probable. How many species of animals have become extinct? And also since that is the case, with your God, why would he create something that he knows would become extinct? That would make your God a little stupid in my opinion.
Dinosaurs became extinct due to an asteroid hitting the earth, which has very good evidence to support that. It would be the same as if it happened today, there would be massive death within the human race, which could also lead to our extinction. Or are you one of those people who think that the devil planted the dinosaur bones to fool people. That devil, always the class clown, always joking around he is.

Answer 4

How could have anything existed?

Let's get a few issues straight. These are facts not speculation.

Natural selection is NOT evolution.
Mutations do not add to genetic information and therefore cannot be a vehicle of evolutionary change.
Variation in a phylum is NOT evolution, or else differents people groups are different species by that logic.
There are NO inter-phyla transitions that should be running out our ears if this theory was true.
Lastly, a question like this does not lead you to doubt in a weakly based "theory"?

Answer 5

Wow, thats a rether unintelligent question. Because they became extinct, thats why. Just cos something doesn't exist today, does not mean that it never excisted.

But then, lets look at it from another theory, shall we? Some experts claim that some dinosaurs may have evolved into birds. So, assuming that is correct, and by your logic, given that birds exist today, and that they evolved from dinosaurs, that proves dinosaurs excisted.

Answer 6

Mammals evolved from the a common ancestor that also evlolved into the mammals. Dinosaurs are descendants of birds

The evolution of mammals from synapsids, also known as mammal-like "reptiles" was a gradual process which took approximately 70 million years, from the mid-Permian to the mid-Jurassic, and by the mid-Triassic there were many species that looked like mammals. Note that synapsids are not reptiles at all, but belong to a distinct lineage of tetrapods

The first fully terrestrial vertebrates were amniotes - their eggs had internal membranes which allowed the developing embryo to breathe but kept water in. This allowed amniotes to lay eggs on dry land, while amphibians generally need to lay their eggs in water.

The first amniotes apparently arose in the late Carboniferous. Within a few million years two important amniote lineages became distinct: the synapsids, from which mammals are descended ; and the sauropsids, from which lizards, snakes, crocodilians, dinosaurs and birds are descended. Synapsids have a single hole (temporal fenestra) low on each side of the skull.

One synapsid group, the pelycosaurs, were the most common land vertebrates of the early Permian and included the largest land animals of the time.

Therapsids descended from pelycosaurs in the middle Permian, about 260M years ago, and took over their position as the dominant land vertebrates. They differ from pelycosaurs in several features of the skull and jaws, including: larger temporal fenestrae; incisors which are equal in size. The therapsids went through a series of stages, beginning with animals which were very like their pelycosaur ancestors and ending with the Triassic cynodonts, some of which could easily be mistaken for mammals:

Answer 7

That's a part of evolution a lot of people don't understand. There isn't an ongoing transformation from one animal to another. What there is is ongoing competition. Some animals are best suited to survive and reproduce, and others die out. Which are best suited for survival can change according to a situation--large animals can be very successful in an area when there are plenty of resources, but if a catastrophe takes away most of those resources, suddenly the large animal becomes the least likely to survive.

Answer 8

This is so intresting! So the dinosaurs were on the earth before man was created. The dinosaurs a test and how Satan and his followers fell. They made them do evil and to be so violent. That is why when you read in Genesis 1:2, And the earth was void and darkness was upon the face of the deep... So the earth was recovering from the prehistoric age. There's really so much to this.

Answer 9

Many hundreds of living things have beome ixtinct as a result of not being able to compete with changing climate , vegetation , food supply , etc. as the world went through various ice ages and climate changes due to the cooling and shrinking of the earth.
So be happy . The dinosaurs were only one of many many other species .

Answer 10

alligators/crocodiles and sharks and some species of fish are know to have been around since the age of dinosaurs. so some did survive and in order to survive the conditions after the meteor hit they had to evolve. Your question is retarded
