What is this thread about? Do

What is this thread about? Do you have something to actually say. I know getting started is hard for some, but if you actually want people to talk about something you have to actually have a subject. As atheist we all know that it was a natural phenomenon that cause the extinction of dinosaurs, probable an asteroid. The scientific consensus is that a perfect storm of many natural events occurred to cause their demise. The fact that they were large accelerated that end. Thus leaving an opening for other species to expand and evolve.
So what is YOUR point in particular or are you just stating what everyone should know by third grade?

"Maybe it isn't meteor that

"Maybe it isn't meteor that killed all dinosaurs"

maybe;

We do not know for sure, but what does that have to do with anything?

There are some 9 999 999 999 other things we do not know about in this universe, probably more, so why did you mention specifically the HOW "Dinosaurs were exterminated"?

maybe not, but that mass extinction event does coincide with a huge asteroid collision.

A quote from "The Sixth

A quote from "The Sixth Extinction" by Elizabeth Kolbert describing the aftermath of the collision :

"Basically , if you were a triceratops in Alberta you had about two minutes before you got vaporized".

And another :

"As the ejects fell back through the atmosphere , the particles incandesced, lighting the sky everywhere at once from directly overhead and generating enough heat to ,in effect broil the surface of the planet."

Yikes !

Well, it seemsyour effects

Well, it seems your efforts have been wasted. This appears to have been one of those "hit-n-run" deals, except the only thing the person managed to hit was a tree.
