End of the "Lone Asteroid" Theory?
hussar writes "This BBC article reports on research that suggests the dinosaurs were not killed off by the Chicxulub asteroid's immediate effects but ultimately fell to evironmental stresses caused by a second asteroid that hit about 300,000 years later. The second impact may have been in the Indian Ocean."
THIS will be going around the religious channels like wildfire. They will be pointing out how foolish the "scientific community" has been for the past 100 years of this theory and show how the bible forsaw "a deluge of heavenly matter from above". This will be going on for centuries from now. Cataclysmic, to be sure.
Oh man, why don't you fuckin' stop it? Shit, this is too fuckin' big for you, you know that? Who did the big reptiles, who killed the dinosaurs, fuck man! It's a mystery! It's a mystery wrapped in a riddle inside an enigma! The fuckin' asteroids don't even know! Don't you get it?

There is no evidence that man and dinosaur lived together except in cartoons.
