Dinosaurs viewed from a secular world view

History is important to our understanding of almost everything. Interpreting fossils and other dinosaur evidence through the lens of secular world history results in conclusions that are very different from the conclusions we reach from the lens of Biblical world history.

According to the secular history point of view, it is assumed that life originally arose from non-life and that death has always been a part of 'life' on Earth. In fact, according the secular view, this world has always been a place of pain, suffering and killing, which have gone on and on for millions of years. From this point of view, the answers to the questions about dinosaurs would then be something like this:

What is the origin of dinosaurs?
Like all living organisms, they evolved from lower and much simpler creatures over millions of years.

How long ago did dinosaurs live?
From 240 to 65 million years ago.

Did dinosaurs live together with man?
No. This is not possible. There are millions of years of Earth history between the last dinosaurs and the first humans.

What did dinosaurs eat?
Some dinosaurs were plant eaters and some were meat eaters.

Why are dinosaur fossils found in many places on the Earth?
Fossils accumulated over millions of years as dinosaurs lived and died. Their bodies would be covered with sediment and fossilized over long periods of time.

Why don't we see any living dinosaurs today?
Dinosaurs became extinct millions of years ago. Most scientists would say that an asteroid impact on the Earth some 65 million years ago is the cause of this massive extinction.

Are dinosaurs related to birds?
Many scientists say dinosaurs have evolved into the birds we see today.
