What is the the most likely root cause of dinosaurs' extinction ?
Correct answer: Climate change brought on by asteroid impact and volcanism.

My son said it was because dinosaurs couldn't brush their teeth. Teeth fell out, dinos couldn't eat, dinos all died. Sounds plausible.

QuackingTank2311, it's not a new idea, they've known that birds are the closest relatives to the dinosaurs for a long time. Now they have the fossil evidence and partial DNA to prove it.

The word dinosaur is a relatively new term that means terrible lizard. Don't we still have some of those around today? Alligators aren't exactly pretty, are they?

scotty G, like the "theory of gravity"? Perhaps you need to look up what a scientific theory is. It means whatever is stated is considered a fact unless you can in some way disprove it....
There is proof both events occured and the time when they both occurred... Then, above the K-T boundary anywhere in the world, no dinosaur remains have ever been found.
(My mom's a paleontologist.)
Nutshell
People asked, how can an asteroid cause climate change? It comes down to carbon dioxide (CO2) levels. Humans today are causing climate change by putting a little over 32 gigatons of CO2 into the atmosphere every year.
The asteroid that hit was enormous and smashed a huge portion of a calcium carbonate shelf, which sent 1400 gigatons of CO2 into the earth's atmosphere all at once. So it created the same changes we are... but instantly.

Sherri, It's a proven fact that Humans were NOT around when Dinosaurs roamed the Earth ! Humans came about millions of years after Dinosaurs died out !! And on what day did God Make Dinosaurs ??

Player #2445394, Does it matter what day? God created the heavens (15 billion years) and the Earth (4 1/2 billion years ago.
Tony
Player GruffSecretAg, Ha ha ha ha ha

I think it’s completely ridiculous they had to add climate change along with an asteroid impact. Who was keeping records back then?!?!

Player #2445394, there's a simple plausible explanation: Adam and Eve were not the very first humans ever created by God. It is possible that there were many "takes", but God only reveals one in the Bible, kind of like the many versions of the Matrix Neo observed at the Achitect's

JRed33, the ones bashing the Bible are those who speak negatively about it. You don’t have to believe it if you don’t want to, that is your choice. You are free to be wrong if you choose to be. No one is trying to force the Bible down your throat. If you can honestly say with 100% accuracy that you know exactly what happened without ever having seen it and you believe someone else’s theory, you have the right to have your faith in that. Others choose to have their faith in the word of God.

Player #25874027, you forgot Mokele Mbembe, the Lake Champlain Monster (Champ), and others.

Player #18814620, sure they would! As eggs or babies! Think about it babies sleep a lot more and eat a lot less (not to mention weigh a lot less) than the fully grown!
Clo
A.1823, like dragons????
Clo
Zizzlestix, the word “dinosaur “ is a relatively new word. They would probably have used the word “dragon”. I guess no one has heard of a single story about “knights going to slay a dragon”???
