How do you think the dinosaurs died?
369716
Dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago.\n\nDinosaurs were not wiped out by a meteorite or a planetary catastrophe but by a serious flatulence problem. Dinosaur wind contained a high proportion of methane gas - powerful enough to penetrate the ozone layer. \n\n"The animals, weighing from 80 to 100 tonnes, would eat on average between 130 and 260 kilos of food every day. They would fart non-stop." \n\n\nDinosaurs became extinct after more than 160 million years on earth\n \nDuring the dinosaurs' time on earth "the atmosphere became charged with methane, which finally damaged the ozone layer and brought about great changes in the vegetation." \n\nThe changes caused a food shortage which eventually wiped them out. \n\nThe ozone layer protects the atmosphere from the sun's ultra-violet rays. \n\nThere are numerous theories as to why dinosaurs died out. \n\nThe most common are: \n\n\nTheir was a Plague of Caterpillars that ate all the vegetatian\n\nDinosaur AIDS\n\nThey all developed cataracts and couldn't see where they were in order to eat\n\n\nWho Knows?

You are nuts!. . .Because the dinosaurs died doesn't mean God failed. . .it means the dinos are in Heaven!  (Except the ones who didn't accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, and the ones who were gay dinosaurs, or voted Democrat.)

Why did all of the remaining dinosaurs die out suddenly at the end of the Cretaceous period? There is a short answer and a long answer to this question.\n \n2     Here is the short answer. No one knows for sure.\n \n3     Here is the long answer. There are a number of theories. Some are scientific, and some are ridiculous. Most scientists believe in one or two main ones, but no one knows for sure.\n \n4     The reason no one knows for sure is because the whole thing happened about 65 million years ago. No one was around to see or hear what was going on back then, and no one was around to keep records.\n \n5     What we do know comes mainly from fossil records. Scientists study the fossils themselves, and they study the rock in which the fossils are found. Fossil records haven't given us definite proof for any one theory. This is because there are some problems with fossil records. For one thing, most fossil evidence of dinosaurs has been found in North America. We don't know as much about dinosaur activity on other parts of the earth. Another problem is that it is very hard to date fossils. Dating fossils means determining how old they are.\n \n6     One really interesting thing about the big dinosaur question is that scientists from many different fields are working to solve the problem. Astronomers, physicists, geologists, paleontologists, ecologists, chemists, geologists and others are all gathering evidence, experimenting, and researching to try to solve the puzzle.\n \n7     The most popular theory is called the Alvarez Hypothesis. This hypothesis says that, 65 million years ago, a big asteroid hit the earth. This asteroid crash scattered dust high up into the atmosphere. It blocked much of the sunlight and caused the earth to become cooler. The crash also started huge fires, high winds, and violent storms that killed some of the dinosaurs. The lack of sunlight and warmth caused many plants to die. This shortage of plants for food caused the rest of the dinosaurs to die out.\n \n8     The second most popular theory says that activity on the earth itself caused the extinction. As the supercontinent of Pangaea was breaking up, movement of the earth's giant land plates caused volcanoes to erupt and the climate to change. These changes affected the earth's atmosphere and temperature, and the dinosaurs died out from the cold or from lack of plants to eat.\n \n9     Other theories suggest that dinosaurs became so big that they couldn't move, or that there were too many dinosaurs and they ate up all of the food.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, lets see genius - they are being slaughtered by their own peace loving, kind hearted, and moral brethren.  Pretty smart, heh.  \n\nWhat again is that regions claim to fame besides dirt?  Oh yeah, a few million years ago some plants and dinosaurs died there.

it hasnt been proven, but there are pictures out there, tho most of them are fake\n\ni personally believe that there probably once was one, but there really isnt much chance that it is still alive\n\nit was probably a decendent of some dinosaur thing\n\nso yea, id say it is, well, WAS real

They're mentioned in the Bible I think in the way that a primitive society would write about dinosaurs. As giant beast and dragons and so forth.\n\nIf you listen to most Christians rhetoric about the dinosaurs, you'll realize they cannot reconcile archaeological findings with their own beliefs. Many of them deny the existence of dinosaurs all together. Some say they're not as old as science has claimed. Some even say they lived on other planets and when G*d used the material to make the earth he took the bones with it.\n\nThe fact of the matter is we are living with people who use an outdated reference guide for life. They cannot admit that they've been had. The earth is not 6000 years old. The earth is not 10,000 years old. Dinosaurs DID exist. And we evolved from a species similar to ourselves.\n\nI won't claim G*D did not create the dinosaurs....as I don't know. \nAnd I won't claim science is perfect....we all know it's not.\nBut when you take the overwhelming preponderance of evidence and throw it all out the window because of a book your mommy told you was true.....well, that's just stupid.

ok.. the aliens like it then they got eaten by dinosaur so they have to live in mars... when they want to have the world back they didn't breathe and they all died

The egg. Dinosaurs were laying eggs waaaay before the chicken came around!

so many of those answers just make me want to cry!\nthe bible does not mention dinosaurs so they did not exist?!?!?\nlets just ignore facts and all those fossils!\n\nIt is insanity!

the atmosphere was heavily clouded with dust that took a very long time to settle out. This caused a drastic cooling of the surface temperature of the earth. Dinosaurs, being cold blooded, could not survive that drastic a climatologic change. In fact, it is posited that an ice age began as a result of the impact and dust. If you look at major volcanic eruptions over the past few hundred years you can see the same phenomenon occurring with regard to temperatures.

No one knows if dinosaurs existed, what we know is that fossils of dinosaur bones exist.  The sensible explanation is that dinosaurs did exist and their bones became fossils, but why do you care about what is sensible?  According to the bible the earth was created in 6 days, that is wrong to.  The only time the bible is right is by accident.  Snakes use to talk in the bible.  You have to admit the bible leaves a lot out.  Like if Adam and Eve had 2 sons, and no daughters, where did Cain and Abel's wives come from?

Dinosaurs are still the most diverse class on the planet, but we call them birds! Pretty cool huh? As an amature paleontologist I can honestly say the no professional paleontologist can honestly that any classic dinosaurs are still around. Another thing about dinos: Dinosaurs were land living animals so no dinos lived in the oceans. Sometimes fossilization is not total and some original bone is still in the fossil and sometimes it appears bleached and to the untrained eye looks fresh. Sorry, but no paleontologist has told me (I am in contact with most of them) that there is a possibility that classic dinosaurs are extant (not extinct) except for their only direct descendents - the class Aves (birds).

they called them dragons in the bible silly.\n\nand there is more proof of dinosaurs than there is of God

They started splitting apart during the Jurassic periods (yes, when dinosaurs walked the earth...) about 170 million years ago, give or take.

My dad used to work at a planetarium and in the gift shop they claimed to sell aquatic "dinosaurs". They were in fact really weird trilobite things. One of them outlived all the others and was like 3 inches long. It was the creepiest thing I ever saw. Maybe they should start mass marketing those instead of the Sea Monkeys. They're far more impressive.
