Fascinating article today regarding the asteroid that caused the latest mass extinction.

I'm playing Ken Ham's advocate here, and thus the questions in the subject.

Well I haven't accessed the site as it's not available in the UK but read some other articles and it would appear it's from radiometric, carbon dating, analysis of the impact crater, comparing and contrasting other impacts, building models that match up with data gathered etc....
Furthermore, it was published in a peer reviewed journal, so this adds further credence to any claims being made.
It's wonderful to actually see demonstrable evidence that supports observations, don't you think?
Here's a link you might be able to access:

@NewSkeptic: "Oh woe those of little faith. Satan put that rock there to fool us. Be not deceived. The earth is 6000 years old and the dinosaurs that existed then, still exist today. The rest are bones burred by that ole malignant spirit, Satan. God's love will set you free."
@Whom it may Concern: My God will Curse you for your DISAGREE. You will burn in the pits of hell forever and ever. A plague on you and all your generations to come. My God is a loving god and if you can not see that you will be damned for all eternity.
@Cog Re: "My God will Curse you for your DISAGREE."
Bring it, brother!... *kicked back comfortably in chair while filing fingernails*... (Okay, for the sake of clarity, I gave you a disagree only on this post to which I am responding. No idea what dimwit gave you the disagree on that other post. I guess some people don't have much of a sense of humor.... *shrugging shoulders*...) If it make you feel any better, though, I also gave you an "Agree" on the same post... *grin*...
@TIN: Okay, I feel better.
Hallelujah brother. God only sends people to hell because he loves them and does not want to deny them their freewill.
@Cog
Seriously, right? It's just plain stupid to think the earth is "billions" of years old. What does that really mean anyway. The bible gives the complete lineage so we can trace back time all the way to Adam and Eve. Don't let that mumble jumble of "carbon dating" or those other stupid atomic symbols fool you. God created the earth with the appearance of age just to make it cool. It's obvious the grand canyon was formed in years if not days. Just how stupid are those "scientists" anyway?
@NewSkeptic: Praise the Lord Brother! God's hand is hard at work, forming all the beauties of this world, and the stupid dip-shit Atheists are just too busy sinning to notice. The only reason anyone wants to be an atheist is so they can sin. A bunch of raping, drug using, amoral. bound for the pits of hell, sinners. All of them.
How do they know?

@David Killens
You think I'm going to click on that pornographic link? God didn't make me a fool.
And is that really your last name, or do you just intend to mock God by your intent to break one of his most important commandments, "Thou shalt not kill!?", a commandment nearly as important as having no other gods (note small "g") before me, meaning God with a capital "G". Repent Killens!
I have been chastised.
Now please send over a few nuns to spank me.
No nuns, but Father Logspiker will be making a call,.
Or Pell's Pole?
They're a bit off with their figures surely, what with the earth only being 6000 years old.
@Sheldon Re: "They're a bit off with their figures surely, what with the earth only being 6000 years old."
...LMAO... Dammit! Glad I wasn't eating or drinking anything when I read that. How many times do we have to tell you to give some warning before making a funny?... LMAO...
@Tin
What's so funny? You seem to be implying some disagreement with Sheldon, one of the few people around here who accept God's word as written in scripture. I guess that I would expect that from someone who mocks God by presenting his body as some kind of Hollywood (where Satan thrives) "icon" from some blasphemous movie that denies God's truths.
@NewSkeptic Re: "...mocks God by presenting his body as some kind of Hollywood (where Satan thrives) "icon" from some blasphemous movie that denies God's truths."
Ha! Shows how much YOU know Mr. Sanctimonious Pants. That "movie" you criticize is actually a super-secret double-blind subliminal dedication to the Laurd Gawd All-Mighty Himself! (Hallelujah!) Who do think the Wizard represents, huh? And the Wicked Witch? It is all there plain as day for everybody to see! (Praise the Laurd!) As for my part in that divinely inspired production, I was merely a humble pilgram in search of Gawd's love and the marvelous gifts He bestows upon those who are faithful and willing to endure the trials and tribulations that are a natural part of our journey down that golden path of life! (Hallelujah hallelujah!) Open your EYES, Brother, and see the LIGHT!
@Tin-Man
My how I have wronged you. I humbly fall on my knees before all powerful God and ask forgiveness of both He and you. I was quick to judge and deserve eternal damnation. Thank you for making me see the light.
@NewSkeptic Re: "Thank you for making me see the light."
Fret not, my Brother. For we are all sometimes blinded by Satan's evil deceit and manipulations. That is why we must rely upon each other to help those who have gone astray to find their way back to the golden path that leads us all to the Laurd's eternal blessings. Now go, and sin no more!
@TIN: AMEN BROTHER TIN!!! AMEN!
@Sheldon,
Must have been a typo. I'm sure they meant 65 million hours, not years. Do the math that comes to about 7,000 years which fits in fine, give or take, with the time of the flood. (the whole math thingie likely doesn't work quite right, but remember, SATAN.)
Praise God that you are not fooled.
@Sheldon: "6000 years old" Exactly what I am saying. How stupid could they possibly be. What a bunch of fucktards. Haven't any of them ever been to Church?
@ Cog
While I agree with your statement, I must point out that I can't approve of your language. Don't be fooled by Satan that it is ok to use such language, even while suffering no fools.
@NewSkeptic: Oh, YES, I should pay attention to the language I use. I have done my repentance. I washed my mouth with soap and water. I begged Jesus for forgiveness and I flagellated myself with 50 lashes. I will endeavor to be more careful with my fucking language.
The Chicxulub crater coincides perfectly with Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary.
It is not outlandish to put the two events of the impact and mass extinction, together as an event in time.
To claim that the crater had no significant impact or was sent by a deity would beg far more questions, don't you agree?
@TheBlindWatchmaker
You are truly blind to God's ways. You are fooling no one with your big words and so called "logic". It's obvious God just used this asteroid to cause the flood which he had warned Noah was going to happen. You should "beg" God for forgiveness.
@NewSkeptic Re: TBW
...*guiding Skeptic off to the side*... *speaking in secretive tone*... Brother Skeptic, please refrain from being so harsh toward Sister TBW. For her Gawd-given assignment is not an easy task. The Laurd has charged her to be a decoy to lure out into the open all those Satan-worshiping scientific types who merrily seek to destroy the blessed name of our Holy Father. It is a grand sacrifice Sister TBW makes for our cause. We should be praying to give her strength to remain steadfast in her duties.
@Tin
I don't know. God would have let me know if TBW was working undercover for His Glory.
I've got to spend some time praying on this one.
@Dear Tin: "Judge not less you be judged." New Skeptic will be judged by the lord our God and it is up to our Lord to pass judgment when that time comes. If you continue your inane asinine bullshit judgments of others you will find your tin ass burning in the fiery pits of hell and suffering for all eternity so start treating fucking others as you would have them treat you.
