We are at the very top of the food chain for a reason. That is why we don’t find too many other predators-lions, tigers and bears, etc-in our suburbs and cities or even rural communities. Climate change can be very destructive to ecosystems in general, and we tend to kill or drive out all of our major competition in particular. How then do we account for the extinction of the dinosaurs? The same way we account for the extinction of the other estimated 20,000 to 2 million species that scientists believe may have gone extinct over the past century alone-a combination of climate change and the proliferation of the human species after the worldwide flood of Noah’s day. ![]() Mankind appears to have collective amnesia regarding this matter, and we have effectively constituted a “scientific” paradigm to keep us in the dark. The preponderance of evidence suggests to us that the conventional perspective is fundamentally flawed. ![]() How are we supposed to explain this within the framework of the conventional perspective? If dinosaurs went extinct long before mankind evolved, why do ancient cultures from every inhabited continent on the planet record interactions with giant reptiles? These creatures are commonly called “dragons” today and have been collectively relegated to mythology.īut we must ask ourselves, how is it that so many isolated cultures from around the world came to share the same mythos of dragons? Could there be a core historical truth to the legends? Could it be that the extinct dinosaurs-the giant reptiles we find buried in the dirt-have something to do with the giant reptiles our ancestors spoke of just centuries ago? We believe that this is the case. For example, if either hypothesis is correct and there is a 60+ million-year gap between man and dinosaur, how then do we explain petroglyphs and other forms of ancient art that depict humans interacting with such familiar dinosaurs as the triceratops, stegosaurus, tyrannosaurus, and the sauropods? (In some cases the glyphs show people taming them and riding them around.) Moreover, some claim to have found fossilized dinosaur prints in the same rock layers as hoof prints and human footprints. Both theories make note of the high concentration of iridium (Ir) found buried in the sediments that separate the Cretaceous Period from the Paleogene (known as the K-Pg boundary formerly known as the K-T boundary), which, according to the conventional paradigm, was the period in Earth’s history during which the dinosaurs went extinct.īoth hypotheses of dinosaur extinction take into account some of the evidence while ignoring some. The second blames intense volcanism-sustained, widespread volcanic eruptions-for their demise. The first proposes that one or more asteroids struck the earth, causing a “nuclear winter” that wiped out the dinosaurs. The two most popular hypotheses to explain dinosaur extinction are the Impact Event Hypothesis and the Massive Volcanism Hypothesis. An assortment of explanations has been offered as to why. The conventional paradigm says that the dinosaurs mysteriously went extinct around 65 million years ago. We find the fossilized remains of giant reptiles all over the earth, yet we do not see any of these creatures alive today. ![]() ![]() The extinction of the dinosaurs is an enigma that has captivated scientists for well over a century.
