I guess a comet hitting The Yucatan was too easy an explanation? Birds are the living descendants of the few surviving Dino families. Next to my bed there is a cage, and in it there are six budgies. Dinosaurs. Yellow, green, blue, and gray dinosaurs with feathers.
And Thursday you’ll be feasting on another dino-kin.
Yummy.

But, back in 1965 Uniformitism was the way everything happened! Not religious catastrophism! Dinosaurs simply evolved out into other animals! (See Time-Life EARLY MAN 1965 edition.)
Then came the BIG BANG theory! followed by ASTROIDS! Catastrophism, once considered religious nonsense, was now the “real” cause of the disappearance of dinosaurs!
In fifty years some other new form of disappearance will be the absolute word in evolution, till some new evolutionary fad comes along.
