Behold now behemoth,
which I made with thee;
he eateth grass as an ox.
Job 40:15
"What they tell you on TV and in biology class about birds 
The usual story of dinosaur extinction, summarized in his piece in Current Biology,
“How Some Birds Survived When All Other Dinosaurs Died,” goes like this:
It almost seems like storytelling: the dinosaurs had their day, most died, some birds survived, and then those birds blossomed into today’s species.
He had opened his article with the TV drama version—the one showcased by many natural history museums about “The dinosaurs that got away” —
Sixty-six million years ago a ten kilometer wide asteroid smashed into the Earth, impacting with the force of several million nuclear bombs. The world changed in an instant. First came the global heat pulse and the earthquakes, then the tsunamis and wildfires. Volcanoes went into hyperdrive. Dust spewed up from the collision and blocked out the sun, a nuclear winter set in and ecosystems collapsed. It was a bad time to be alive. Tyrannosaurus rex, that most fearsome of dinosaurs, suddenly found itself the victim. One moment it was at the top of the food chain, the next it was gone. Many other dinosaurs went extinct as well: smaller meat-eating cousins of T. rex, the colossal long-necked sauropods, horned plant-eaters like Triceratops, the duck-billed and armored dinosaur species. But one peculiar type of dinosaur made it through the apocalypse and survives today: birds.
But then, at the end, he suggests this account is worse than storytelling: "It’s a great narrative, sure, but it’s more than just a story. It’s actually more of a fable."
A fable is defined as “a story not founded on fact.” Have evolutionary scientists been engaging in confabulation? " CEH
