Well, actually you've got it wrong.

Scientists couldn't find any evidence of an overlap, which was extremely puzzling, and attempted a whole bunch of unsatisfactory explanations. There was no generally accepted theory for why dinosaurs' ancestors disappeared if there wasn't an overlap.

But I love this creationist canard: on the one hand, you folks accuse scientists of sticking dogmatically to theories regardless of the evidence. On the other hand, you attack them for adjusting theories to fit the available evidence. So which is it?

Some folks just don't like science. I guess it comes up with inconvenient answers.

It’s actually both; you stick to the false religion of evolution while constantly revising how it happened and when or how long it took

evolution is so fun, you can change the means to ANY zany postulate!
