Obviously Earth isn’t a planet either by their convoluted logic, these too clever by half nitwits did not take into consideration that most of life was wiped out including the dinosaur era by an asteroid some 65+ million years ago. This asteroid could have been crossing Earth’s orbit for a billion years and obviously Earth never cleared it until that fatal day.

I think they were wiped outby climate change. Or capitalism.

You are right, but you're wrong.

That asteroid was not in Earth's orbit, it simply crossed it, the same way many comets and other bodies, at some point, cross the orbits of all the planets. The definition of "clearing its orbit" refers to any other bodies in the relatively same orbit, orbiting the same object. Which, every single planet has, except for Mercury (so far). Look up what "Trojan" or "Greek" asteroids are.
