I'm sorry for a so simply explanation, but i can't explain better when i have a limited number of characters. I meant not only birds, but most of life. When i was a youngster i loved all the aspects related to dinosaurs and evolution,i read and thought about the theories, it's proven that for about 50000 years the surface of earth was devastated, that doesn't mean that life has dissapeared, but it's difficult for big animals to find food. That helps the smaller to survive.

There's something i don't like about this video. It says the dinosaurs dissapeared but the ancestors of rats and all of us survived because of living underground. Correct me if i've heard wrong(i'm not an english speaker, so it's a bit difficult to me to understand everything), but birds survived also, and they weren't underground. If those animals survived probably was thanks to their hability to addapt, which is more difficult for animals which are cold blooded and so big not all, but most

Nice thing about that supernova, the sun, the earth...not one of them judges me, hates me, loves me, promises me eternal life, codemns me to everlasting torment...nope they just LET me EXIST, finitely so that my life has PURPOSE, then I get to die, so i dont have to suffer concioussness forever. That is a worthy to be praised power, but it dosnt require praise because WE are its praise. Intelligent creative life IS its glory. Besided they cant hear us, nor can imaginary sky fathers. Simple.

so what religion are you then...im guessing scientologist or athiest

the supernova that detonated all the heavy elements into this region of space IS God. The SUN that gives energy to everything in this space, is GOD..the EARTH that produced life or at least nurtured it from some far off place from some comet that also brings water, life, etc...also reneweal through these events to erase life and start over..they are GODS...STARS write the letters, PLANETS are the setting, LIFE is the story...these are GODS, that produced CREATORS, US..THE GODS! Get with it folks

Which one, the Catholic, the lutheran, the mormon, the anglican, the greek orthodox, the evanglestic...which "christian god", which also is the jewish god, and Allah....etc...Allah IS the christian god, Jesus IS the christian god...so many factions there certainly must be SOMETHING false about these things, and please dont just say, well mines the right god...that statement has cause most of the suffering on earth, how about we all accept...there is NO god, and stop fighting over fairytales

yes, but someone was saying the impact of the asteroid was radioactive, which it wasnt. The impact was actually closer to 100 billion trillion tons of tnt. I was not comparing the impact to a nuclear bomb, i was saying tits non radioactive.
