It's Official: An Asteroid Wiped Out The Dinosaurs

*Cough* Gamma Ray Burst *cough* Ok, they think they have DISPROVED (shakey evidence at that) about volcanoes, and that suddenly makes it so that asteroids were the only way the dinosuars could be killed? I'm not saying its right or wrong, but come on, gamma Ray Bursts are awesome when they don't happen to us...

Sure, give them another twenty years and they might decide it was something else, but this straw man hyperbole is a bit much.

[QUOTE="Snakewiseman"]

whats the religious stance on dinosaurs, is there one?

Yucatan crater? Like the 180 Km one?

You know it's based in part on the giant crater that can be dated to approximately the same period of time and physics-based models of what kind of effects that sort of impact would have, right? I'm not saying that is 100% definitely why they went extinct when they did, but when you say that "there is still the problem of evidence" it sounds like you're asserting that it is nothing but wild speculation.

Wild speculation is for archaeologists, not biologists and geologists. :P

And an asteroid'll wipe us out too. :o

I love how these people always know better than all of the experts in the field who have dedicated their lives to a particular subject, and they always have the most flawed and asinine reasons for knowing better.

Here is a quote from her reply:

"For the asteroid impact theory to be correct, one would have to assume that every dinosaur on the planet was incinerated instantly."

Yeah, so, um, that's not even what the argument is. See, the really sad and absurd part about that is that one could get that much right from the article she replied to. That means she either couldn't be bothered to spend the minute or two it would have taken to read it before talking out of her *** or that she somehow just completely failed to comprehend what she read.
