I am in th middle of a debate here and would like pointers to references to 
find current info on the following theories.

Dinosaurs were cold blooded.
Dinosaurs were warm blooded.
Dinosaurs were reptilian or at least most closely associated with reptiles.
Dinosaurs were not reptilian and in fact were closest to birds.

I would be thrilled to have people comment on the above theories, but please,
I need references for substantiation.  The person with whom I am arguing 
will not believe me unless I can point to these answers in published works.

I hope that this generates some healthy discussion.
