Very good question. I actually addressed this very question in a thread. called Reptilians A Breakdown of a few evolutionary facts.
Dinosaurs are closely related to birds. But there are prehistoric reptiles. And reptiles have certain needs that just don't fit the whole Reptilian
overlord thing. For instance:
Reptiles require humidity over 65 to 85 percent in order to digest food. This has not changed since reptiles first appeared on earth 450 million years
ago(estimates can be found on science daily.com or peer reviewed journals)
Secondly; Reptiles require UV A and UV B to metabolize food. They are entirely dependant on external heat sources for body temperature regulation.
These things fly in the face of reptilian creatures having evolved underground. If they came from space...Then I will paraphrase another paster here
and say the following.
They left their planet, landed on Earth millions of years ago, and went underground on a world that to them is alien. Underground, where there is not
solar energy, no food, little water, toxic gases, potential lavaflows, and a whole assortment of dangers that any species trying to survive would
certainly make an attempt to avoid.
Another question to that would be this, Why are they not the dominant species on the FACE of the earth if they are, in deed so powerful? Why have they
not just taken over instead of conspiring for millions of years from underground?
