The fossil and DNA evidence is indisputable.

What does the DNA match suggest? Does it suggest evolution or rather suggest that the birds and those creatures had nearly the same DNA. The dinosaurs became extinct because they had large body to feed. The birds had small body so they survived.

Well DNA shows us that modern birds still possess the dormant genes of their saurian ancestors. Jack Horner has been doing experiments where he's managed to produce a chicken embryo with a reptilian snout and teeth.

This is true and not true.
There were of course large dinosaurs which are the ones that most capture our imaginations and which are most readily preserved in fossils.
But there were also many smaller dinosaurs and some of these are the ancestors of modern birds.
