But don't you, in your own admission to teleology purport that this event was not a chance event? The development of mammals wasn't possible without the dinosaurs out of the picture.-You are right that the chixulub asteroid did in the dinosaurs, but I doubt that God threw some lightning bolts to steer the asteroid. My teleology theory is guidance built into DNA to allow for increased complexity, when the opportunity strikes. David Raup pointed out lots of bad luck in his book covering about six mass extinctions.
