Well, technically. Chickens, turtles, alligators, crocodiles and more are descendants of prehistoric creatures, so some say that as they have dinosaur heritage, they are, for humourous purposes, dinosaurs.

Only birds are. Crocodilians are archosaurs but not dinosaurs. Turtles are less related and other reptiles even less related. Mammals diverged before that, and amphibians arent even amniotes.
they’re taking shots at Young Earth Creationists, who believe the Earth has only been around by 6 to 10 thousand years. YECs come up with all sorts of “interesting” and “creative” ways to dismiss hard evidence like fossil records and such like. None of it actually makes any real sense if you don’t buy into their particular brand of crazy.

But yeah birds are the only extant dinosaurs
Are you talking about science or religion? If the former, how could dinosaurs exist without Earth?
