Dinosaurs are very interesting and they did rule the Earth at one time. However, a meteor struck the Earth about 65,000,000 years ago and changed the world's climate abruptly. The dinosaurs died out because they couldn't adapt. Darn!
But then about 40,000,000 years ago, the first creatures who were our ancestors came about; so we got a turn.
Had the meteor not come and the dinosaurs had continued to live, it is unlikely that we humans would be around.
And don't forget the meteor that landed 250,000,000 years ago; it killed off 90% of all life on Earth!
Watch out for falling meteors. They are very pesky.

No one knows for sure because dinosaurs were around way before any human being. They assume it was from lack of food. Either that or some think it was a meteor. You could try going to a Smithsonian site and ask about dinosaurs. They have a wealth of information. Good luck with this.

Those that think the dinosaurs died out millions of years ago are perhaps unaware of the large amount of evidence indicating that they lived recently alongside man.
There are many written accounts and depictions of dinosaurs.

Remember that the word dinosaur was invented in 1841. Before that people used names like dragon.
People from all over the world have accounts of dinosaurs: the Chinese who have incorporated it into their lunar calendar, The Welsh who have the dragon in their flag; The account of the Saxon Beowolf; The native american thunderbird; and other stories from many other nations. The Romans even made mosaics of them.
Furthermore, dinosaur fossils have even been found containing blood cells - hardly 65 million years old.

But check the evidence for yourself - don't by brainwashed by dogmatic evolutionists who don't want us to think for ourselves :)

The main reason they've died out is most likely because they've been hunted to extinction - good old St George.

The usual explanation is that the temperature of the Earth cooled abruptly. This may have been due to a meteorite striking earth or to vulcanism or a combination of the two. Sorry that I can't be definitive; it happened a few years before I was born.
