Either one letter off from a descriptor of the person making the argument or the more typical presentation of the argument? You decide.
Reptiles evolved into birds, really? Based on what? If so why did some evolve and some didn't? Wouldn't of all reptiles of ceased to exist and there be just more birds? Who decides they stay a lizard and another will be a bird?

Have you not learned about reproductive isolation, allopatric speciation, sympatric speciation, etc. in school?
By the way Blowjob University is not a school--it's a cult under the guise of a school.

Wouldn't of all reptiles of ceased to exist and there be just more birds?
Do you cease to exist when your cousin is born? If an American is descended from Irish ancestors, do the people in Ireland cease to exist?
Wouldn't of all reptiles of ceased to exist
I'm assuming the "of"s are his version of "have", though that doesn't make it any better. One would suffice: "Wouldn't all reptiles have ceased to exist".
Of cource of not of.
I decide. That's right, I do. Yes, that means intelligent design is true. However, it wasn't Yahweh that was responsible. I slaved over a hot universe for 13 billion years and he took credit for my work and claimed to do it in a week.
They all evolved, in different directions, stupid.
have =/= of, stupid.
The environment "decides" stupid. Those, whose bird-like mutations were beneficial for their survival, evolved into birds. Those, whose lizard-like mutations were beneficial for their survival, evolved into lizards.
"Reptiles evolved into birds... ? Wouldn't of all reptiles of ceased to exist and there be just more birds?"
A. Birds evolved from dinosaurs.
B. Have you seen any dinosaurs lately?
:. Evolutionism is proved.

The phrase 'We have the fossils. We win '. It exists for a reason .
And you, Revealing(Your IQ as)7.77, are the reason why - even homeschooling & private tutoring - the National Curriculum exists in the UK. Even 'Faith Schools here, if they're to receive state funding, must teach the Big Bang & Evolution as fact . One word: China.
Can you say 'Cyberattacks'? After all, you don't learn how to compromise other countries' commercial/intelligence/military databases by reading a book of fairytales. In Soviet China, God worships you .
The more we learn about dinosaurs, the more apparent it is that some of them were basically just big birds. Neither feathers, flight, nor lack of teeth is enough to move a species from the dinosaur into the bird column. It might be more accurate to say that large dinosaurs died out.
Answers
1. Some Theropod dinosaurs evolved into birds,
2. Not the entire class Reptilia as you think it did.
3. No,because an entire group of animals don't just magically turn into another group of animals. A particular group or few groups of theropod dinos evolved more and more bird like traits and it continued as as such until we have the different birds we have today. Birds are basically avian dinosaurs.
4. DNA 'decides' what something will be or not. That's how DNA works.
Did you not learn anything in biology? This shit can easily be answered using google. Have you not seen the countless dinosaur fossils with feathers? Holy shit the ignorance is blinding.
So, you can become quite rich by becoming a bank manager, right?
So how come everyone doesn't become a bank manager, eh?
When you've figured that one out, look at this question again and think about it. There's a chance you may get it.
If there's one unsurmountable mindset to break fundies off it's this one; "Who decides", their blanket assertion that there is a planner of all and science can't deny this, putting their theology over all endevours.
Science can deny this because there's no evidence for it, it's only support comes from primitive fables.
There is no " Who decides" only time and changes.
The answers, in order.
Yes, really.
Based on an extensive body of evidence including transitional fossil series.
Because species phylogenies branch, they are not linear.
No.
No one decides: evolution doesn't proceed in an intelligent or goal directed manner.
Did this come from ATHEIST forums WTF!!!
OH, and there's a thing call archeopteryx that you may want to research.
As I found out when taken to task for my , quite wrong, claim that turtles weren't reptiles, birds are reptiles.
Who decides they stay a lizard and another will be a bird?
Tzeentch.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
