Not just one meteor but two, now is it?

As anyone with a gradeschool education would have realized, the thousands of craters on the Moon indicate quite obviously that this region of the Solar System has been subject to quite a few significant impact events over the past few billion years, and thus your bizarre derision over the fact that the Earth has been hit by at least two large meteors in the past few hundred million years is sadly misplaced.

And this was big enough of an event to allegedly cause mass global exitinction, yet the Earth was also somehow not affected in what is it's uniquely favorable orbital path, which sustains life in the first place?

Yes, because you are apparently grossly ignorant of the many orders of magnitude difference between the size of an impact which can seriously screw up living conditions on Earth, compared to the vastly larger size of one that would be necessary to affect "it's [sic] uniquely favorable orbital path". I'd end this by suggesting that you "do the math", but clearly, that would be asking something beyond your abilities.

Still, though the observation runs counter to the expectation of the Big Bang ("BB") premise, they tell us the reason Venus spins in its orbit opposite to its nearest neighbors Earth and Mercury is because a meteor supposedly knocked it off its rotation also without disrupting its orbit.

Actually, no, Venus most likely rotates in a retrograde manner due to tidal locks with the other planets.

As for Uranus, it is far more likely due to a large impact early in its history, but while that would "knock it off its rotation" as you clumsily say, you're incorrect when you say that anyone has claimed that it would do so "without disrupting its orbit" -- it would, actually, and almost certainly has. You really need to read more science journals and fewer creationist pamphlets.

Add to that, Uranus has a rotation counterintuitive to the BB premise and they use the same stupid explantion for that, as well!

No, they use a different and "non-stupid" explantion [sic]" for that because that's what the evidence indicates.

Speaking of "stupid explantions [sic]", I'll send you $1000 if you can explain why exactly you think the Big Bang is somehow incompatible with retrograde rotation of planets without making a complete fool of yourself (i.e., saying something really idiotic that demonstrates a gross ignorance of even the most basic high school science). Go for it!

Materialists believe in miracles, and worship at the alter of Fortune and Chance even as the pagan Romans did. They just don't want to believe in the Creator God, Himself, because they fear He might expect something of them that their false little goddess of Fortune togther with their perpetually shrinking intellects won't.

Uh huh. Sure. Again, you might want to try reading more science journals and fewer Jack Chick tracts and so on.

Your derrision of others must certainly be based in self-projection. As an evo-true-believer, your rejection of mathematics is obvious, since the two are mutually exclusive, but you will find that FR is mostly populated by people whose livlihoods are totally dependant on the professional use of mathematics, rather than odd belief systems like yourself.

Still waiting... Any of the other anti-evolution nuts here are invited to take the same challenge, if you're interested in making complet fools of yourselves and demonstrating that you don't understand elementary physics.
