The question these pseudo-scientists do not and cannot answer is how come only dinosaurs became extinct. That is the real question that no meteor theory can answer.

And frankly this has nothing to do with creation or evolution. It is only the evolutionists who try to use any forum to insult opponents that try to make it into such an issue.

Too bad that asteroid didn't take out this stupid annoying dinosaur:

More proof you have absolutely no idea of that which you speak. More than 75 percent of all extant species (not just the dinosaurs) became extinct at the K-T boundary.

I suspect it was hiding in a deep underground bunker. But maybe someone can get a suggestion to Rummy...? :-)

So how many species were there before the K-T boundary? How many after? To the nearest hundred will be sufficient. Who counted them?

Your statement is just part of the evo garbage dished out constantly without any evidence. The fact is that of the major classifications of living animals, the only one that became extinct at the 65 million year or so point, is dinosaurs. Reptiles, amniotes, fish, mammals, birds, etc. all survived just fine into our time.

Okay, we're going to delve into an area with which you have very little apparent knowledge -- mathematics. Statistically, only 25 percent of the species found immediately before the K-T boundary appear immediately after. One need not know the total number of species before and after, any more than one needs to interview every person in the United States to determine popular views on certain matters.

Of course, you've shown only the shallowest grasp of math in the past, Mr. 1720, so I doubt you'll actually understand the above paragraph. Of course, you've also shown a shallow grasp of science and religion, so at least you're consistent.

You are insulting instead of answering the question posed to you - as usual. The question was how many were there 65 million years ago and how many after. You can not answer the question and neither can those who make that claim. What that means is that the claim is absolute garbage.

In addition, to back up my statement I pointed out the numerous classifications of animals which have survived through the 65 million year 'barrier' that the evolutionists claim existed WITHOUT ANY EVIDENCE. Of course they say this happened because they cannot give any trace of mammalian evolution, in other words 'the dog ate the homework' excuse usually given by evolutionists.

Fact remains therefore that my statement is correct. The only major classification of animals that went totally extinct at that time is dinosaurs and any explanation the pseudo-scientists of evolution want to make up has to deal with that fact.

You moron. You know damned well it doesn't matter how many species existed before and after the K-T boundary. The only thing that matters is the percentage of species found before the boundary that are found after. This is something known as statistics. You can weasel and squirm all you want, but the people on these lists know you're pissing up a rope on this subject -- just as you do on just about everything you expound upon.
