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.'"

...dinosaurs were incinerated within hours by the 'heat pulse'... All unprotected creatures were 'baked by the equivalent of a global oven set on broil...
Well...Kinda hard to "broil" per se but Bon Appetit!
I have a theory that the truth is never told during the nine-to-five hours. -- Hunter S. Thompson
Erhm...the world-wide flood is the reason the dinosaurs are extinct? You mean the whole Noah's Ark thing? That's what you think happened to the dinosaurs?
Despite the current lack of evidence for a world-wide flood?
Despite the consensus among scientists that there simply weren't any humans around when the dinosaurs died off, when according to the Bible there were humans around during the world-wide flood.
I've heard much better creationist theories. Why would you believe that particular one?
Delicious!!!
Am I to believe that this happened and somehow it was so beneficial to the new species that they prospered more than the organisms that were reproducing asexually?
Yes, you are to believe it.
Try buying a house on one income... then try it on two. Now you understand the advantage of sexual reproduction.
It forces cooperation.
