Earth Recovered Quickly From Extinction Event

Posted by michael on from the dodo-bird-still-not-recovered dept.

jmoloug1 writes "Traditional theory is that the earth took up to 10 million years to recover from the dinosaur extinction event. However a newly discovered site has revealed that this estimate may be way off. CNN has the article describing how quickly a tropical rain forest grew after the catastrophic event 65 million years a go."

    Do men who believe in evolution worship what is created? Talk to any atheist and see if they don't worship themselves. Sagan referred to 'Cosmos' as his god and even said in His book 'Cosmos' that it is more accurate to worship the sun than God. Just a little research and you will see that many leading evolutionists worship creation even though they may not call it worship. www.exchangedlife.com www.carm.org

      Let's presume this is the case. Belief in a god has lead to a lot of violence, and Christianity (and Judaism and Islam) is based on the belief of the not-too-far-away end of humanity and all creation as we know it.
