Also, oil is a good explanation, but it comes more from ancient plant life and its existene is not caused by the existence of dinosaurs. The question that I want an answer to is Why is everything so arbitrary. The laws of phyisics, this type of life, huge universe, choosing a Middle East savior over a Chinese or African, or existence itself. Sometimes I wish my mind was not so limited to only think in 3 dimesions of space and one dimension of time. It is better than nothing at all though.
What makes you think it was arbitrary?

Why do we exist:
Something because of God's plan.
Why does God have a plan at all?
This is what seems arbitrary. It is beyond my understanding. What is the purpose of purpose itself?
I should just keep humility and just accept it lol.

The fact that we don't know something or its purpose doesn't mean it's arbitrary. To state that the laws of physics are arbitrary is illogical. Purpose and uniformity are all around us, otherwise no discovery about anything would be possible, including asking the question 'what is the purpose of purpose'.

This is news to me, when did this happen?
Here I though that they went extinct because of the meteor theory.
God destroyed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.
Here I'm seeing God manipulating nature... it was time for the dinosaurs to move out and the mammals to take control. He'd already done this with the therapsids, a group of dinosaur-like reptiles that flourished for tens of millions of years before God decided the dinosaurs would take over.
