The dinosaurs were abducted by aliens and bred and trained to track escaped human slaves. You can watch a documentary on this, called Future War, here:

Although it takes place neither in the future, nor is there an actual war, it sure opens your eyes to the truth of the universe though.
Gary Larson solved this years ago. The dinosaurs smoked cigarettes.
It was global warming. /s
The first thing I thought of was that Larson cartoon, post #5.
Perhaps a major flood did them in ?
I guess a comet hitting The Yucatan was too easy an explanation? Birds are the living descendants of the few surviving Dino families. Next to my bed there is a cage, and in it there are six budgies. Dinosaurs. Yellow, green, blue, and gray dinosaurs with feathers.
Butt it is settled science...ummm not so much. I’ve always been interested in science and when I hear people act as though something is absolute because they heard it on some science tv program I cringe or even worse when I politician tells them or some Hollywood actor. Science is a process of discovery and even things long thought settled often take on new dimensions when more information is available or a different context is applied. Even scientists are not Gods but very fallible human beings. We are all doomed to go to our graves having known only very little about the reality with live in. In some ways this story is heartening and I think more scientists need to humble themselves and practice the phrases “I don’t know” “We don’t know”.
I read an interesting paper several years ago that theorized that the super heated gases and ejecta from the meteor impact would have caused world wide infernos that destroyed most edible plants, especially in North America, which had the largest and most diverse concentration of dinosaurs in the world.
When the plants die, the herbivores die, and when herbivores die, the carnivores die.
Because they stopped breathing!
I know, right?!
It was a damn meteor. Fossil recorde CV show a layer of dust within sedimentary rock around the world at the same exact period of extinction. From the same geniuses who believe in climate change, no doubt.
BUMP!
But you a** h**** can predict the climate for the next 100 years. And part of that prediction is based n the destruction of the dinosaurs.
Thanks. I like #16 best.
