True, but the hypothesis is every bit as valid as the one put forth by the Warming nuts and maybe more so because they don't seem to be trying to manipulate or hide data.

You are an idiot. It damn well is science. You want to challenge it you can. Just put forward another hypothesis and show that it is a better explanatory fit for the data than the preferred hypothesis. THAT is science, you nattering nabob of cluelessness. What is not science is folks like you sitting on the sidelines and jeering in favor of the powers of darkness and ignorance.

And just for those clueless twits who don't f'in get it. The catastrophic asteroid theory of dinosaur extinction was first put forward by a team of physicists and geophysicists including the great Luis Alvarez. They did incredibly careful work to find new data (including the observation of a layer of iridium, etc.) that lead to the formation of this hypothesis and its general acceptance. This is not global warming. It is based on the most careful science the best scientists in the world knew how to do. It is way way way over your pea brained comprehension.

There is a political point behind this highly personal attack. It is my belief that conservatism is the direct product of the enlightenment through our founding luminaries. It is not the product of ignorance, prejudice and idiocy, like you have expressed. There is no room in MY branch of conservatism for anti-scientific idiots because your kind of attitude leads people to revile conservatives and leads to the election of what we presently have.

Not to mention that many of the Dino’s continued to live for millions of years afterward.

" shrouding the planet in darkness, causing a global winter and "killing off many species that couldn't adapt to this hellish environment." "........

their theory also does not address the or CYCLICAL nature of global winter(S)

Actually, it is science. What it isn't is the metaphysically certain truth. Science doesn't give you the truth, it gives you the best answer with the evidence at hand. People often forget that.

Science is extremely limited and most scientific discoveries are very incremental. That's what makes climate science so absurd.

The Bible doesn’t even mention dinosaurs. Any theories why?

And if they aren’t mentioned in the Bible, maybe the whole thing is a hoax?
