Ancestors of Birds

I don't think this is something controversial, just interesting. I've been reading a lot of modern discoveries over the past few months that lead up to a starting theory. That theory is that dinosaurs never completely died out. Instead they evolved into what we know as birds. Pardon, my lack of wanting to look up the correct definition of a dinosaur, since I've read that not every ancient reptile is known as a dinosaur (just bare with me). Anyways, I thought this new find was really interesting.

They even go as far as to state the following, "Anyone who would argue that birds and dinosaurs are not related — frankly, I'd put them in the Flat Earth Society group." Very intersting indeed. If I had to choose I guess I'd rather have the flying ones that poop on my car instead of biting my head off.
