QUOTE: "The scientists found that a mass extinction would have occurred from the impact only if it had hit 13 percent of the surface of the Earth, including both land and oceans. "If the asteroid had hit a low- to medium-level hydrocarbon area on Earth, occupying approximately 87 percent of the Earth's surface, mass extinction could not have occurred," Kaiho told Live Science."

DAVID’s comment: God knows how to aim it where it needs to hit! Not unlikely as God is in charge.

dhw: Makes you wonder why he bothered to create the dinosaurs in the first place if all he wanted was us mammals.

It had to involve evolution. Didn't you notice the history.
