Re: Lack of other impact-induced evidence
Since there is no clear evidence of a cause for a massive "extinction" event perhaps the real reason is the dinosaurs did not go extinct but descent with modification is what caused their appearance to change over time. This fits under evolutionists explanation perfectly.
If fact, nothing has ever been extinct, just changed in appearance over time. If the entire group of all reptiles all die then extinction is a better choice to describe it makes sense.

Re: Lack of other impact-induced evidence
Dinosaurs changed to birds and other reptiles over time. The largest birds became smaller birds over time plus speciation occurred multiple times giving you today an abundant diversity of birds. Life comes from life and if I am to make any sense of evolution then total extinction doesn't fit into the theory of descent with modification. You can't evolve from another if it dead. Humans evolve from a primate's ancestor but humans and modern apes, monkeys today do not look their ancestrial link.

Re: Lack of other impact-induced evidence
The statement you made, "individual dinosaurs did not turn into birds or reptiles" does not make sense to me when I was informed by this site that the fact that I am alive right now is because every ancestor whether it was human, primitive ape, whatever it was before that, going back to my origin of the first multi-cellular life lived long enough to reproduce is why I am here today.
Obviously my ancestors changed in appearance several times since its origin in early earth. At some point the offspring started to look less and less like they looked 1000 or more generations ago. Offspring are individuals that represent the group they are identified by.
I am not saying one day a dinosaur and the next it became a bird.
