Just like the Dinosaur were killed by a meteor hypothesis was pushed by the anti nuke people it's all liberal politics.

The evidence for it is pretty overwhelming; there was some skepticism and alternate theories, but just in the past few years many of those questions have been answered.

It's not "politics" it's scientific evidence produced by an amazing amount of hard work. And it wasn't started by "anti-nuke" people, it was started by people finding a layer of iridium in rocks right at the time the dinosaurs went extinct, all over the world (iridium is incredibly rare on earth, but common in asteroids).

Have you ever read an actual scientific paper in a scientific journal?

The Global Warming people say the same thing.

But none of the questions have been answered, for example where are the bodies? The Asteroid people have the same problem the flood people have, A disaster of that magnitude should leave a layer littered with fossils. But there are none.

bzzt

It wasn’t at the right time, at the time of the iridium layer all dinos were already long gone. Well with the exception of some duckbills and the K-T event didn’t even kill them as they made it into the Tertiary before going extinct, but every other Dino from Triceratops. Ankylosaurus, sauropods, T-rexs were long extinct.

Have you ever read an actual scientific paper in a scientific journal?

And again just like the Global warming people, your argument is so weak you have to resort to personal attacks.

But yes I have, my personal favorite is PLATINUM GROUP ELEMENTS ANALYSIS OF IMPACTITES FROM THE ICDP CHICXULUB DRILL CORE YAX-1: ARE THERE TRACES OF THE IMPACTOR?

The study found that there’s not only is there no extra iridium in the Chicxulub crater but the element properties of the crater exactly match terrestrial samples,

True scientists would have at least asked How could the Chicxulub impart cause an iridium layer around the world if it contained no iridium? And if Chicxulub matches terrestrial element patterns could it be that maybe it’s not an impact but terrestrial in nature?'

True scientist would, but not liberal scientist with an agenda. Instead in an unscientific manner they blatantly dismiss it out of hand and try to come up with even crazier theories on how magically the iridium disappeared leaving behind what looks amazingly coincidentally terrestrial.

Yes really, Quote right from the study, "If we exclude the extremely implausible assumption that the K/T boundary is not related to the Chicxulub impact event"

Sorry that’s not science, you can’t just "exclude" any assumption because you don’t like where the evidence leads.

Personal Attacks, declaring consensus and the debate is over, Dismissing evidence, where have we seen this before?

Yes I know, A big asteroid falling from the sky and wiping out the dinosaurs is really, really, really cool

But sorry, despite it’s coolness, the evidence shows it just didn’t happen.
