Science is a guessing game.

Founded upon scientific principles which have given us everything in modern society.. Computers, cars, electricity, your cell phone, you name it, there is some scientific guess work but it is educated guess work that worked because these things were based and built upon proven theories and working models.. Even the Wright flier's wing shape of 1903 was tested in their home made wind tunnel.. Why because that is the scientific way to see what shape produces the most lift. Science is not all guess work, period, but occasionally a good guess can lead to amazing things...true..

Ever heard of birds, crocodiles, lizards, frogs, toads? Yeah, these are all technically dinosaurs. Just because they aren't that big don't mean they aren't dinosaurs. There used to be really big dragonflies back in the day too.

They had to evolve into new forms or die off. Animals with exothermic blood are at a clear disadvantage to ones who are endothermic in cooler climates . Ever come across a snake on the ground on a cool morning in spring you would think it was dead do not pick it up ! I had a friend do this when I worked construction he said look this thing is dead I told him it was alive he would not listen after a few minutes of him holding it the snake became instantly active and bit him and he had to go to hospital.. we have had giant birds on Madagascar until a few hundred years ago they were known to be able to kill and eat people but their downfall was people from Africa started raiding their nests for the giant eggs each one was large enough to feed a whole large village being a yard across. Mammals are what truly kept dinosaurs from evolving into sentient species. Whether it was our ancient rat like ancestors stealing the eggs out of their nests to modern man still stealing their eggs and eating their flesh.
