Dinosaurs Died Within Hours of Asteroid Impact, says New Study
colonist writes "SPACE.com reports that most dinosaurs were incinerated within hours by the 'heat pulse' of an asteroid impact 65 million years ago. The study 'Survival in the first hours of the Cenozoic' presents a scenario where the only survivors were underground or were underwater in swamps or oceans. All unprotected creatures were 'baked by the equivalent of a global oven set on broil.'"
Being a creationist, ...makes you impervious to logic.

Science and Religion both try to answer some of the same questions. Science, using the word theory, accepts that it is possible that in the future there may be a better way to explain the world around us. Religion just makes stuff up.

The difference is reality. Reality is that all religions are human make-believe. That's a simple fact.
Science is a process to discover what is, not what humans want to be. That is a simple fact.
Another fact is that Christianity, as it is a purely human creation from human imagination, is evolving from its intended roots. That is why scientific facts/theories of today fit within your beliefs. You are not truly a Christian, but instead a neo-Christian who has essentially bastardized and warped the religion to fit reality whenever a make-believe religious explanation or "fact" is disproved scientifically.
The universe is not ruled by human make-believe. That is a simple fact. The universe is ordered, predictable, and governed by a set of unaltering rules. The scientific process is the process to discover the exact rules that determine the order.
In order for something to be taken as fact, it has to be mathematically correct, repeatable, predictable, and disprovable. That is simple. Human fantasy/religions fit none of those things.
Yes it's a theory. What REALLY happened back then was that Jesus collided with Earth at faster than light speed. His speed was so great, that the explosion it caused wiped the dinosaurs out.
That theory would be good, since it implies the existence of God and Jesus, therefore being OK with the bible-bashers among us.
