Religion Confronts Science: What made the Dinosaurs go Extinct?
Thesis: The scientific theory that dinosaurs went extinct due to an asteroid overrules the religious theory that dinosaurs died in the flood mentioned in the Bible, with evidence of fossils and matter.
Religion bases the Dinosaurs' extinction on the Bible
A.The theory that the Biblical flood killed them off (Seventh Day Adventist)
1.God created the dinosaurs in Day 5

i.Those animals that were too big to fit in the ark drowned in the flood
B. Creationist argue that scientist claim dinosaurs as scientific evolution to get people away from God
Disneyland and others brainwash people by stating "Million Years Ago." Science tries to connect present fossils …show more content…

Those that landed died from other things such as diseases due to the climate change
II.Evolutionist different theories on why the dinosaurs went extinct.
Dinosaurs died from the fallout of an asteroid that hit earth 65.5 million years ago
1.Iridium a metal found in meteorites, dated exactly at the time of the extinction was discovered all over the world
a.The crater of the meteor is in Mexico, Yucatan
I.Crystals or "shocked quartz" are caused by high-energy explosions, the layer of those crystal is found in the layer of the extinction (PBS) B. A huge volcanic eruption killed the dinosaurs 1.Iridium is also found in the Earth's core, which spewed out in "flood like form" created (National Geographic)
a.The iridum created sun blocking dust which affected the climate causing greenhouse gases.
I.Temperature would decrease, killing off the dinosaurs and their source of food
III.Due to the fact that the extinction of the dinosaurs happened years ago, nobody will ever know the truth.
A.Religion does not know exactly what happened to dinosaurs because the Bible does not

The dinosaur extinction theory – a large asteroid impact and a giant volcanic eruption at the end of cretaceous – also supports that dinosaurs were cold blooded, when the dust due to the meteorite covered the earth, then the sun light could not penetrate the smoke and dust, thus sunlight did not enter the earth for many years, this lead to the drop in temperature on the land, as dinosaurs were cold blooded they could not raise their body temperature without sunlight and hence were

Title Researchers and scientists have constructed extensive research on dinosaur’s extinction. Speculation instead of real evidence seems common in most theories about the dinosaurs’ extinction. However, Jay Gould’s essay “Sex, Drugs, and the Extinction of Dinosaurs” is the complete opposite of speculation over evidence. Rather, Gould uses the mix of persuasive techniques, such as rhetorical questions, logos, along with profound evidence to not only disapprove of other theories but convince readers of his place on the dinosaur’s extinction.

The making of film, or the concept of it, has been around since the beginning of the 18th century. The lens of the camera has captured some of the most beautiful things, but also the most prejudice. Stereotypes of races, ethnicities, and gender have always been around but were widely considered acceptable in films of that era. Almost as long as there have been people filming, there have been people fighting for equality to be presented on the big screen. Danez Smith is one of these modern fighters in his free verse poem “Dinosaurs in the Hood.”

*Most paleontologists now have little doubt that birds are a subgroup of dinosaurs, so basically only “non-avian dinosaurs” became extinct 65 million years ago. The Alvarez theory (hypothesis) of extinction is that a world wide impact event such as a massive asteroid or comet, is the most widely held cause of the extinction of many species, including many dinosaur species, about 65 million years ago. This impact event would most likely have done the opposite of freezing them. The Deccan Traps theory, blames massive volcanism and a very likely global warming, making land and water ecosystems not compatible to large animals, over thousands of years,

Dinosaurs Fact, Bible, Faith. They still haven't found a 10ft person, but they've found over 100 ft animals in many places. One being “Dinosaurs” are being researched and showing proof while the other being “Bible” are being researched and you just should take their word for it. We can't predict the future, but with our finite minds we’ve put together things that give us roundabout dates of things such as life expectancy, the term of pregnancy, when a SHUTTLE will land on the MOON, when an earthquake, tornado, tsunami and other great and mysterious things mother nature creates for us that happened based off other facts (things that have happened that has proof). I recognize everyone has learned of a thing called mathematics.

A ginormous meteorite could have hit earth millions of years ago and caused extinction of dinosaurs but if that would have happened that also killed all plant life and or vegetation which should have caused everything to go extinct, so how could have every little life that’s on earth today be alive. Which is why my faith is in God and Jesus Christ my savior, so this is why I believe that the Global Flood is what caused the extinction created by God and that he (God) made vegetation after the flood. Dinosaurs have lived with mankind in the past it says in Genesis 1: 24 - 25 (KJV). Research states that dinosaurs extinction and if they lived with mankind is that the extinction was caused by the Global Flood and that they did live with

Stephen Jay Gould's article, "Sex, Drugs, Disasters, and the Extinction of Dinosaurs”, discusses the essence of science and takes into consideration the significant distinction between both science and mere speculations. To my understanding, Gould is trying to communicate to his readers that sometimes scientists too fall victim to the trending themes of our culture and develop these senseless speculations to gain recognition. In order to prove his point, Gould introduces three theories on how the demise of the dinosaurs came to be- sex, drugs, and disaster. He explains that these will be an effective way of illustrating the difference between pseudoscience and genuine science. In my opinion, Gould’s purpose was to show us, the readers, how

Similarly, the creators of Jurassic World, driven by the promise of profit and scientific prestige, disregard the ethical implications of resurrecting extinct species. This parallel highlights a critical concern about the dangers of humanity's quest to dominate and control nature. Scientists behind the park at Jurassic World genetically engineer new, more impressive dinosaur species. They’re driven by a desire to push the boundaries of science to create an ever-more spectacular

The book “Darwin’s Doubt” by Stephen C Meyer attempts to negate the negativity surrounding the theory of intelligent design by giving a creationist’s perspective on the different issues surrounding the controversy and provide an argument for the legitimacy of intelligent design from a scientific and rational viewpoint. The book is broken into three different sections part one titled “The Mystery of Missing Fossils”, part two titled “How to build an animal” and part 3 titled “After Darwin. What?” Part one of the book focuses on the lack of validation and evidence hence the name “The Mystery of Missing Fossils” and gives a very brief introduction to the problems of missing fossils, missing phyla, and just general missing validation of the evolutionary

If it were to happen today, humans would most certainly be defenseless against the brute forces of nature, and even though it happened roughly 252 million years ago, it is still the most catastrophic period in time known to man.
