When a kid asks you why the dinosaurs died off what do YOU tell them?

[Still-alive]

A huge asteroid hit the earth

A huge earthquake rocked the planet

A great famine and/or drought occurred

Dinosaurs? the earth is only 6000 years old duh. Didn't you know?

Aliens invaded earth

They all gave in to their sins and God punished them justly

There's countless gigantic asteroids whizzing randomly through space and every now and then one whacks into the planet and wipes out 99% of life. We're well overdue the next hit and it could come any day now.

A big asteroid hit the earth 65 millions years ago killing most of them off the same day. The rest died of starvation and cold in the following years. The few survivors evolved into lizards.

Err. A little of column A, a little of column C. The standard model is that an asteroid probably caused such an enormous eruption that it blackened the sky, blocking photosynthesis and hence producing famine.

[goaded]

A, but they evolved into birds.

Have you heard of Tanis? An archaeological dig that looks like it captures the day the asteroid hit! Amazing.

There is nothing God created that can ever truly go extinct. They may not be on Earth but they still exist in Heaven.

I chose other. I would tell them if. you don't eat your vegetables the same things going to happen to you!

I usually tell them it was cause of the Ice Age, but sometimes I mention the asteroid too.

[MissSunshine2]

Because we couldn’t afford to feed them.

[SunnyDay00]

The earth was hit by a giant rock from the sky.
