There have been 5 mass extinctions over the history of the planet. The 5th one involved the dinosaurs. In 2010 40 scientists agreed that the asteroid which hit in the Yucatan caused the extinction based on the large amounts of iridium in that area.

If you have ever watched Ancient Aliens on the History Channel, the guy with crazy hair says that Aliens killed off the dinosaurs........nicker:

Yeah, the crazy haired guy is hillarious. My position on all this, is one of skepticism. No matter how impressive the graphs and timelines get we're still talking about educated guesses here. Science is used to justify and retrofit their positions, hindsight being 20/20 and all. The scientific community had already bought into the theory of evolution as a matter of choice. All these spinoffs of mass extinctions and all the details and timelines and the like, are born of man's imagination. And, with the backdrop of an aeons old earth generated by a big bang, anything seems plausable and homoginizes all the problems true science has raised into an oblivion of time where anything is possible. Here's what I'm saying. Once the leap of faith is made, (in this case we're saying there has been 5 mass extinctions) it becomes a scientifically doable proposition to justify that leap of faith with known science. Said science, by the way, being nothing short of profound. The only problem with all of it, which I freely admit is impressively replete in detail, is the reverse engineering aspect. Nobody knows in certainty what happened before recorded history. We have at bare minimum 6000 years of history laying behind us, and given that Katrina and Sandy were big storms, they hardly provide anything approaching proof of man made global warming. The climate of the past and the length of time of the past, are matters of wild eyed speculation. That being said, to say on the one hand that climate changes of the past involved billions of years but now we're staring at global sterilization in mere hundreds of years, is a little laughable to me

Books and writings like hieroglyphics and cuneiform have survived from the earliest known civilizations. To my knowledge, there is nothing suggested from these earliest records, other than the mention of drought conditions, that climate was ever an issue. The bible is known to contain records of over 5 thousand years of human history from the time of Noah to present. From creation to Noah is an unknown time frame and it is therefore very dificult to give anything resembling precise numbers of years for us to consider. That time is none the less much easier for us to take an educated guess about than the aeons of time suggested by evolution adherents. We know for example, that the Sumerian pictograms and the Assyrian-Babylonian cuneiform date back at least 3000 years BC.

To me the strata and geological layers containing fossilized life forms, suggest just as believably, that a flood caused one mass extinction, (in the fossil record to date there has never appeared even ONE transitory lifeform, and by the way, the theory rests on the species mutating through these transitional lifeforms to become more sophisticated, which is in direct contadiction to any known mutation science has ever observed, in that mutations have always had a degradeding affect) When asked why we find fossilized remains of clams and other shell fish on some of the highest mountain tops, the scientific community always runs home to momma and says "the earth is so old these mountains were once ocean beds, pushed up by seismic phenomena."
