Aside from the question of megafauna extinctions around 12000 years ago by standard dating schemes, there is the vastly more problematic question of the gigantic muck deposits which you find a mile deep or so over much of Canada and Siberia. Not only would I view a comet as an insufficient cause of such a thing, I'd also view a global flood as an insufficient cause. Those layers represent an entire living world with all of its trees, soil, and animals which was simply picked up into the air, pulverized, and slammed down again.

Of the theories I've heard to explain such a thing if I had to pick one, it would be that of Dwardu Cardona and the thing which he sees as the agency of that vast upheaval is the one thing in nature which really can suck up and agglomerate material on that sort of scale i.e. the same kind of electrical Birkeland currents which are probably responsible for the creations of stars and galaxies and you'd be talking about an interplanetary electrical arc which picked up all that material and then when the spark stopped, the material was all slammed down again. Sorry if that's too catastrophic for anybody or anything like that but again, as I understand it, that's the best theory so far.
