Do you believe in a global "near extinction" theory?

Please define this. All I can find on it is a wiki article, and I don't take those as being accurate.

And what do you mean by "believe?" Most scientists accept a theory when the evidence becomes overwhelming, but belief is another thing entirely.

Heinlein probably said it best:

Belief gets in the way of learning.

So, Coyoteman, do you accept the theory of a past global genus extinction event?
