Any thoughts?

1. The Convergance of String A with String NOT A and separation into String B & String NOT B resulting in a Singularity. An event which both ends and creates the existance of Dinosaurs - TIME being the continuous formation of singularity at the string theory level.

Reduced carbon in the atmosphere cooling the planet till it lacked both sufficient flora and warmth to support cold blooded mega-fauna.


The real dangers of global warming is tree's destroying our precious sky-scrapers and super energetic monitor lizards devouring us as we try to nap through the hottest parts of the day...

Socialism.
Socialism killed the dinosaurs.



And there is no such thing as global warming as prophesized by Al Gore.

Edit: there, your proof of global warming

Currently accepted theory says that the Dinosaurs were warm-blooded at the time of their demise. Early examples of True Dinosaruia may or may not have been cold-blooded, but all of the later, larger examples would have had to be warm-blooded.

Especially when you fet such examples as Deionychus, Tyrannosaurus Rex, and Diplodocus. Diplodocus's (and those of most other Apatosaurs) were entirely too long for a a cold-blooded heart to force blood through. Track evidence at the Smithsonian indicates that Deionychus could make speed up to ninety-ish kph for extended periods, and T. Rex had a stature and gait impossible for a cold-blooded critter.

If I remember correctly, there are no upright-standing reptiles. They all spend the majority of their time on their bellies. There are some examples that can stand and run, but none can do more than short(less than 50 meters) sprints.

And the world was 10 degree's warmer back then.   It sucks being cold-blooded right now because the world is cold.  It was great back then because the air was blood-warm and being cold-blooded was the only way to move around in the daylight without over heating.


And I'm not going to say they was cold-blooded with the open chamber heart, they where probably cold-blooded and closed chambered.


And yes I do acknowledge that there were most likely unknown and unrepeated advances in saurian biology in the last 100 million years of Dinosaur evolution.

The dinosaurs were largely a product of the evolutionary development per the function of continental drift.

When their territory expanded as a part of the others, diseases developed...and there was less immunity in the anti-bodies of their blood. 

So they were declining in large numbers before the event, which brought about a dominance from mammals later.

However, a lot of Christians have been perplexed by chromosome mapping in recent years, enough say...to relate the 'Out of Eden' argument in a time period roughly equivalent to the The Deluge.

This 10,000 BC time frame of another impact in North America and the end of the ice age, is around the time of written history in a sense, because the oral tradition let's them honor death in various ways, like the ages of antiquities in the cradle of civilization...

...plus deal with the stone age of 15 million years, not roughly 2.5 million when the hunter/gathers started, and thus the assimilation of Neaderthal....when the wheat and other grains, like hops and millet came around.

These things like disease, steel, and clover/potatoes.  Green Manure.  upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d...

It's a passing of culture too.

Follow the money.  As yourself 'who benefits?'  What happened to all those dead dinosaurs:  they became /oil/.  

Someday in the future, time travel technology may be developed.  Who would have the money to do that kind of research: the oil companies.  Clearly, in the future, in order to assure their past profitability, the oil companies bankroll time travel, and go back in time to kill the dinosaurs, so they'll become oil.

a wizard did it. this one:

and since we all know that stegosauruses were not too bright this one had just enough knowledge to be dangeresque. also, he was a 2nd ed wild mage.

Nothing killed the dinosaurs cuz they never existed.  How easily are you duped by what 'they' tell you?

No. It was purely Shepard from Mass Effect. Not even Chuck Norris could stop Shepard.
