improbably vs inevitable
We know that an astronomically improbable event 'took out' the dinosaurs
​
Not picking snits here, but given the time scale involved how "improbable" was the meteor hit? Seems like if you take an sufficiently long period of Earth's history, you'll find a significant impact of one kind or another.
​
I'd say the next one is eventually inevitable.
