How did birds evolve from dinosaurs when dinosaurs were all killed off simultaneously from the asteroid?

This is bunk.

Natural selection of course.

The birds were flying high up in the sky when the asteroid hit the ground. The ejecta did not reach the birds. When the ejecta settled to the ground, the birds landed on the ground.

Q.E.D.

Doesn't understand natural selection ping! You believe scientists about the asteroid, but not about evolution!? Praise Brahma!

The branching off of the bird line from the dinosaur line occurred many millions of years before the asteroid 65 million years ago. Dinosaurs were dominant for about 150 million years. More than twice the span of mammal dominance. Google archopterix for more info.

What blows my mind is why a scientic publication would perpetuate ignorance by speaking of a “man eating dinosaur”, given that the dinosaurs died off about 60 million years before the first hominids were alive.
