There’re a lot of secular theories for why the dinosaurs went extinct: an asteroid impact, overeating, starvation, indigestion, climate change, and more have been suggested. But the Bible gives us the proper framework for understanding their extinction.

When the dinosaurs got off the Ark after the global flood, they entered a radically different world filled with new challenges. And the flood was followed by an ice age, which radically changed the climate. And, of course, human hunting was likely a factor, too.

Dinosaurs went extinct for the same reasons creatures go extinct today: changing environments, climates, and human hunting.
