Did the dinosaurs really die out?
Dinosaurs are not extinct. It is a right wing conspiracy designed to keep the public from fearing them while going about its daily activities. If the general public was aware that dinosaurs exist within the modern world, GDP would plummet since people would be afraid to go to work or even to the store to buy food. Thus, all dinosaur related deaths are quickly hidden from view and the family members paid off to keep quiet. I only know this because I am one of those family members who was paid to keep quiet; but I've decided to break the silence and I don't care what happens to me.
Rest in Peace, Father. Rest in Peace.
Do creationists believe in dinosaurs?
You don't have to "believe" in dinosaurs. There is evidence of their existence in the fossil record, unlike god.

You can believe in god and in dinosaurs if you accept that the Genesis story is metaphorical rather than literal history.

What is the general name for flying dinosaurs?
It would be impossible to list them all here. Commonly cited are the pterosaurs such as the following:
Pteranodon
Pterodactyl
Petinosaurus
Quetzalcoatlus
Rhamporphydon
Archaeopteryx
Avisaurus
Piksi
Confiucionornis
Haopterus
Microraptor
Rahonavis
The Pterosaur
Rhamphorhynchus
pteranodon and quetzalcoatlus can fly
But these technically were not dinosaurs.
However, paleontologists not classify birds as dinosaurs. There are 10,000 known species of bird alive today and even more that are extinct. It would be impossible to list them here.
The Cretaceous period ended as the result of a mass extinction event, probably resulting from an asteroid impact. This wiped out 65 percent of life on earth, including the ammonites, the plesiosaurs, the pterosaurs, and, most famously, the dinosaurs.
A meteorite from space that blocked out the sun and made acid rain which poisoned all the plants so herbivores died out, with no food supplies for carnivores they all died out.
Good bye Tyrannosaurus Rex.:(
Acrocanthosaurus had spines as high as two feet (0.6 m) tall on its neck, back, and tail. The spines on its back were probably set in a ridge of flesh. These spines were not raised in a bony sail as in some later meat-eaters, such as Spinosaurus. Acrocanthosaurus had qualities in common with the earlier giant allosaurs of the Jurassic Period in North America. It also resembles giant meat-eaters that lived in South America nearly 50 million years later, such as Gigonotosaurus and Caraharodontosaurus. Since Acrocanthosaurus lived in lands between the habitats of allosaurs and later giant meat-eaters before and after time. It is the largest eat-eater known from the southern United States. A nearly complete skeleton of Acrocanthosaurus, was recently purchased by the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh.

The moon winked at me through the clouds above.
The ocean waves lashed out
Time flew by

The Cretaceous is the youngest part of the Mesozoic Era. The Triassic period had started 227 million years ago and ended 22 million years later. When the Triassic period ended the Jurassic period started. The Jurassic period started 205 million years ago and ended 61 million years later. After the Jurassic period came the Cretaceous period. The Cretaceous period started 144 million years ago and ended 79 million years later. The dinosaurs have been alive ever since the beginning of the Triassic period and are still alive today. But the dinosaurs that are alive to this day are the evolve creatures of those in the past.
