So if we combine asteroids, and something that emerges from your anus, then we can only conclude that the dinosaurs were killed by haemorrhoids.

But according to creationists the earth is only about 6000 years old, so this whole dinosaur extinction stuff must just be part of a Darwinian conspiracy to hide the truth from god's subjects

Yeah, apart from that.

The time scale does seem very, very narrow for such a mass extinction. I would imagine certain mammals, insects, and so on that survived did so for that very reason. They survived. They could manage on meagre rations, could eat the vegetation that remained, and were adaptable to the climatic changes that may have occurred. Why do you reckon they survived?

Yes, but from the abstract from the paper it seems the dates have been narrowed drastically.

It's a fair point.

Quite, that one was a doozie. That's when all the Triazplozoids were wiped out, but no-one knows about them...yet.

Nonsense. I've been to the circus and seen them perform.
