Are Dinosaurs Really Extinct?

Most people have read about or heard about the dinosaurs.

They ruled the planet for over 160 million years, from the Triassic period around 230 million years ago through the Jurassic period and until the end of the Cretaceous period about 65 million years ago.  The renowned King of the dinosaurs, Tyrannosaurus Rex, a huge, vicious carnivore, roamed planet Earth between 67 and 66.5 million years ago.

Dinosaur is derived from the Greek, meaning terrible lizard. Dinosaurs weren’t so terrible at first, they started out small.  But as they proliferated and came to dominate the planet, many of them grew to be massive brutes, with bodies reaching gigantic proportions.  Argentinosaurus, the biggest known herbivorous dinosaur weighed in at 100 tons.  Tyrannosaurus Rex weighed 8 tons.

In 1980, two scientists put forth the theory that a giant, mountain sized meteor plowed into Earth at cosmic speed 66 million years ago, creating massive tidal waves, filling the atmosphere with gas, dust, and debris that shut out the sun and dramatically altered the Earth’s climate, leading to a mass extinction that destroyed most of the existing plant and animal life on Earth.  This mass extinction opened the door for mammals to emerge from the shadows and assume the role of the dominant class of animals.

While the dinosaurs and their huge bodies were marvelously adapted to instinctively survive on planet Earth for so long as the environment remained a tropical paradise, they weren’t equipped with the brain power required for survival once adaptation became necessary.

The problem with the dinosaurs was they were unable to adapt to real change because their brains were so very small.

But what if this theory isn’t true? What if dinosaurs were not wiped out by a meteor?  Alligators, turtles, snakes and crocodiles have survived, why not some of the dinosaurs too?

With each passing day I become more convinced that dinosaurs are in fact not extinct.  Some of them survived the meteoric mass extinction event and continue to instinctively eek out some semblance of existence as “progressive” leftist “democrats.”

They are still terrible reptilian brutes that act on savage instincts alone because their brains are still very small.  They remain incapable of adaptation, refusing to evolve beyond their baser instincts.

Do planet Earth a favor.  Ensure their extinction on Tuesday, November 3, 2020.
