Transcript
What happened to the dinosaurs? Well, an asteroid impact, overeating, starvation, indigestion, climate change, and more have been suggested. But the Bible gives us the proper framework for understanding their extinction.
When the dinosaurs got off the ark after the global flood, they entered a very different world filled with new challenges. And the flood was followed by an ice age which radically changed the climate. And, of course, human hunting for food or protection was likely a factor too.
Dinosaurs probably went extinct for the same reasons creatures go extinct today—changing environments and climates and human hunting.
