I was never fond of the theory that man hunted the mammoth to extinction.

That would be the Ledbetters of Route Four, Liberty, Mississippi.

The world continues to find every reason under the sun EXCEPT for the Flood in Noah’s days to explain why the animals all died off.

"Should we be doing more to try to deflect future asteroids, or is that too sci-fi?" she said.

Well, comets are different - they don't necessarily have one solid center mass and can't easily be pushed aside.

The next Comet will impact above Wrigley field just as the Little Bears are about to clinch the NL pennant.

Scientists say comet killed off mammoths, saber-toothed tigers

LOL! They missed one-our big old orange tabby,Rusty,who has earned the nickname "Smilodon". We jokingly refer to his parentage as a cross between a pitbull and a saber-toothed tiger (but he really is a sweetheart..just don't aggravate him!)

I saw numerous shows on Science channel/ Discovery etc. where they went over this... and the reason they said there was no crater as a smoking gun was because it hit the ice age canadian shield which had miles thick ice on it.....

pretty cool....

Once the mammoth were gone there was nothing for the tigers to eat.

I guess the point Mitchum was trying to make was: Mammoth. It's what's for dinner.

...a similar extinction much more recently: just 13,000 years ago....

Then how come there were mammoths, sabertooths and humans in Los Angeles some 9,000 years ago?

Considering that mammoths went extinct 11500 to 11000 years ago, sabertooth cats 10,000 years ago, and Megatherium 8,000 years ago. A comet killing them off over a period of 2,000 - 5,000 after it hit while leaving all other animals intact would be a good trick.

Plus it's amazing how Alligators are always near ground zero for these Asteroid/Comet hits, yet they always manage to survive unscathed.

This IS the flood of Noah. Read Velikovsky seminal trilogy: Worlds In Collision, Earth in Upheaval and Ages in Chaos. Then: Ignatius Donneley- Ragnarok, and Vine Deloria- Red Earth, White Lies. This event is recorded in the myths of ancient people the world over. www.kronia.com.
