Ha ha! I expect that someone will write a paper refuting this. it’s been going on for quite a while.
On a related front, the last juried paper trying to say that meteorites are strictly an atmospheric phenomenon and were not “rocks from space” was published in 1912! And the nature of Barringer Crater was debated for a long long time.

Obesity killed the dinosaurs.
Frankly, this has been known for decades....there were people that thought the volcanoes caused it, but that was honestly lunacy.
A crater that size was an extinction-level event. A big one.
So does this mean that the “Shiva” crater isn’t a crater? The latest theory (prior to this one, anyway) was that the Chicxulub impactor was only a fragment from the main impactor which hit off the coast of modern India. That main impactor also either triggered or worsened the Deccan trap eruptions.
I took the blue pill.
Then I took the red pill.
Then I took them both together...
The pills didn't work.
Thank GOD we didn't have Maobamacare last year.
Show the proof!
Well, whatever the cause, I’m glad they’re gone. Could you imagine if they were alive today and we had to put aside land to protect them?

Um, no, honey, it wasn’t the wolves that got the sheep this time...
“gravity increase” is an unknown and unobserved phenomena that doesn't even have a plausible mechanism suggested by theoretical physicists.
That you think your “gravity increase” speculation is just as plausible is ludicrous.
Yep. It’s why the GOM is roundish.
There no doubt were other problems they faced....lots of them that the other scientists bring up. But, the biggest factor was the asteroid, and thus, it should be listed as the real cause.
This seems to be the new scientific method. Theories are no longer proven, they are agreed upon by a panel and declared to be fact. This is the way the old theologians did it, so I suppose we have not advanced as much as we think we have.
The word “dinosaur” was not coined until the 19th century. Its root meaning is “Terrible Lizard”. The King James Bible was translated in the 17th Century.
The Book of Job speaks of “Behemoth”:
Job 40:
15 “Look at the behemoth,
which I made along with you
and which feeds on grass like an ox.
16 What strength he has in his loins,
what power in the muscles of his belly!
17 His tail sways like a cedar;
the sinews of his thighs are close-knit.
18 His bones are tubes of bronze,
his limbs like rods of iron.
19 He ranks first among the works of God,
yet his Maker can approach him with his sword.
I’d say that is a pretty good description of a dinosaur.... what do you think?
That's the theory of the growing earth as explained by Neal Adams. I really like his work over at www.nealadams.com
Yes. I am so angry about this you can not understand. I mean, scientists have never been, and never are, wrong. My anger knows no bounds. Anger, anger. Anger, anger.
