Make-believe would be your fantasies, and the world would be the world you have invented in your fantasy universe.
F for Fail.

"Make" means (in our present context) create or cause. "Believe" means believe. "World" means world: A created world to cause the world to believe.

But if you do not hear or understand yourself...how will you understand anything?

This created world you mention has 2/3 of its population not believing what you believe.

Why is that?

So as to not be off topic I will answer in that context:

Because it is a process, and it includes the separation of those who do believe from those who do not.

Those would be the words of a man, not a deity.
Does it matter to unbelievers?

Be they from God, as Christians say; an angel, as Joseph Smith said; or men, as unbelievers say ... does it matter?

Does that process include islam growing and christianity (especially in the united states) declining?

I think that virtually every geneticist and palaeonlogist in the world would rejoice. For geneticists being able to sequence DNA from at least 65 million years ago (and still be able to be sequenced) and for palaeontologists yet another confirmation that birds descended from certain forms of dinosaurs.
Creationists go on and on with all sorts of claims about MOR-1125. You never hear them mention that the collagen fragments most closely resembled those of birds for some reason.

The entire article is a Gish gallop ranting falsehoods one after the other. Creation science doesn't even perform any original research which is the very basis of the scientific method. What hypothesis have they proposed, tested and verified? NONE. All they do is take science from the mainstream and misrepresent it. And that's their best work. Most of it is just plain made up garbage.

Opinion, bashing. Quote the part where they
are wrong.

Or it will be a final nail in evolution, proving that dinosaurs
are related only to dinosaurs.

Unlikely, given that we have not only genetic evidence showing birds are closely related to living archosaurs (crocodilians), dino-bird transitional fossils and the collage fragments in MOR-1125 are most similar to that of birds. Keep your fingers crossed and your wishing thinking going though. Good luck with that.

Make-believe: The action of pretending or imagining, typically that things are better than they really are: she’s living in a world of make-believe

http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/make-believe

Even the Oxford dictionary describes a make-believe world as something that is imaginary. The F isn't mine.

The live fish that were found were indistinguishable from the fossil.
All else is immaterial.

That is one of the biggest lies that professional creationists like to spread. I would strongly suggest that you find new sources of information.
