[QUOTE="Harry3142, post: 60933997, member: 145412"] ThinkFreeDom- Evolution teaches that after the meteor impact which wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, this planet has been free of extinction level events. This has enabled creatures which began as furry little rodents to evolve into the myriadal species of mammals we know of today. There's only one problem with that theory. Science itself has already identified at least 5 other ELE's which have occurred since then. the evolutionary apologists themselves have tried 'dancing around' these events, but with little success: 1. 35 million years ago- Chesapeake Bay, USA- meteor impact crater measuring 53 miles in diameter. When asked if this could be considered as an ELE, an evolutionary apologist claimed, "It only made a big splash." 'Big splashes' don't leave impact craters which are 53 miles across. 2. 10 million years ago- Tajikistan, Russian Republic- meteor impact crater measuring 33 miles in diameter. Evolutionary apologists pretend this one never happened. 3. 2 million years ago to 640,000 years ago- Yellowstone National Park, USA- three different supervolcanic eruptions. These have all occurred within the time when evolutionists claim mankind was already forming. 4. 70,000 years ago- Mt. Toba, Sumatra- supervolcanic eruption of such intensity that even secularists admit that it brought mankind to the brink of extinction. They say that a few (a maximum of 30) women survived in Africa in order to keep our specie alive there. And what do all of these events have in common, admitted to by all scientists? Following the destruction cause by the initial impact or eruption, which would have been enormous and widespread in-and-of itself, dust and gas would have been ejected to the very top of our atmosphere. This would have formed a shell completely surrounding this planet, and shutting out the sun's heat for decades. For all intents and purposes, this planet would have become a gigantic walk-in freezer, and would have remained that way until the dust and gas finally dissipated decades later. With a constant temperature this cold, plants would have died or gone into dormancy, and the animals that lived by feeding on those plants would have died of hunger and hypothermia. This death spiral would have continued up the ladder, affecting every species of animal that lived either on land or in shallow regions of the water.
