I think Jake just doesn’t understand the concept of the scientific method and therefore thinks science is like religion. Pro Tip: When scientists, or any reasoning person, discovers new evidence, they modify their previous position.
Everyone “knows” that dinosaurs died out because Noah miscalculated the width of the door on the Ark and sadly, they weren’t able to fit on the boat and all drowned.

The endothermic dinosaurs idea has been around for, oh, decades. Perhaps you might recall this hit movie (based on an even earlier book), built on the notion of fast, warm-blooded dinosaurs.

Sure they did. That sounds like a left wing conspiracy like global warming. Just scare tactics trying to get grant money.

Sorry scientists – the science was already settled on this one. And we all know that scientists are never wrong. Once the science is settled, that’s it. It can never change.

Uh, this isn’t news, aside from possibly adding additional proof as evidence has been turning up for years that many dino’s were more closely related to birds than reptiles. Like when they discovered fossilized imprints of Velociraptor skin and they could make out that instead of scales they had feathers.

The headline : “Dinosaurs ARE hot…” ? More accurate would be “Dinosaurs ARE extinct. Perhaps they WERE hot.” sheesh!

Actually many leading scientists now except the possibility that desease may have played a major role in there demise. There seem to be a few glaring holes in the meteor scenario. More mechanisms need to be in play. Kevin J. IU Anthropology graduate.

No, they died off from an asteroid impact which rocketed soot into the upper atmosphere, blocking out the sun, and causing global temperatures to drop so severely that everything larger than a dog was killed on land.

did dinosaurs drive hummers and have coal burning factories? didnt they die off from an ice age caused by climate change? they must have not been very “green”.
