It is in the Bible, heck, thats what the guy got stoned for in the demonstative example.

and if it killed the dinosaurs why didnt it kill us too?

Because the average T-Rex needs to eat a good bit more than we do in order to keep a functioning metabolism.

For once, I must concur.

Nonexistant entities do not have wishes.

I'm sorry but what does concur mean?

I am not your dictionary, please keep that in mind.

This has been an amusing banter, but a series of one-liners isn't very helpful. Fire_of_J, if you would like to provide the evidence that the Chixulub meteor didn't end the Cretaceous, please do. If you would like to provide evidence that the Paluxy footprints are not dinosaur prints (except for the ones that were chiseled by humans to look human), please do. We could stand here throwing assertions at each other all day and never get anywhere. What's your actual argument, and what point are you trying to make?

im trying to tell you there is know way only the dinosaurs got wiped out. why not believe that when the continents drifted apart the dinosaurs died off from food starvation, change of climate, and weather? it is logical anyways. if you think most of the bones where found in dry desert like conditions, its logical they just died from lack of food, heat, and weather.

Probably that is how most of them indeed died, those that weren't killed in the impact itself - in the months after the impact, as most plants died when the sunlight was blocked from the dust.

They are found just about everywhere.

Well...we know that lots and lots of plants and animals were killed at that time. It wasn't just the dinosaurs. It was a lot of things.

You might also want to go back and review your notes on plate tectonics. The continents didn't just suddenly fly apart, stranding dinosaurs on one side and their food on the other. The continents didn't move then any faster than they are moving now. There were changes in climate, but they were pretty mild--except for the meteor impact, and the cracking of the earth on the other side, resulting in the spewing forth of one heck of a lot of lava.

As it turns out, we do find some dinosaur fossils in deserts, but that doesn't tell us what their part of the world was like when they were alive. You need to remember that many dinosaur fossils have also been found in places that are not deserts. Remember the one that Lewis and Clark described in a bluff along the Missouri River. Remember the ones from New Jersey, too. It's just easier to find 'em where there's less vegetation (you can see 'em better), and where there's less rain (they don't break up as fast).

Sure, it's an interesting question why some things survived the meteor and others didn't. But, it's lucky for us--the dinosaurs kept eating our ancestors, which couldn't take over until the dinos were gone.
