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.
​
What evidence do you have for this?
​
This fits under evolutionists explanation perfectly.
​
It doesn't at all. Extinction and oppertunity are key aspects.
Dinosaurs were highly diverse and successful , they managed to occupy almost every niche and climate. The mass extinction allowed small Mammals that were coexisting with Dinosaurs for 100 Million years to take to fill the now "vacant" Planet. The extinction of the therapsids around 251 Million years ago allowed Dinosaurs to evolve and fill every Niche. These are the two major extinction events in earth's history. The fossil record is clear,
​
If fact, nothing has ever been extinct, just changed in appearance over time.
All Species? Should we tell that to the Dodo Bird and the tasmanian wolf? Where are they now?

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.
No Dinosaurs evolved into modern reptiles as a matter of fact for the most part Dinosaurs aren't considered reptile.
​
As for Birds only small theropod dinosaur evolved into birds.
​
These along with the vast majority of the dinosaurs of the late cretaceous simply went extinct.
​
These are not 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.
Of course it does. Extinction allows other life to evolve and fill niches previously filled by an extinct species.
