I am puzzled, however, by his poor argument that after the KT boundry
event the mammals were able to take over the niches (large animals)
that dinos had previously occupied. The question arises: Why didn't we
get dinos all over again? Why didn't we get large reptiles, at least?
Why large MAMMALS?


Do you think anybody knows the answer to this? Obviousy, according to
the ToE, it's probably because determinism goes out the window and the
conditions that made for the "evolution" of dinos were not present after
they became extinct.

"The reason the theory of evolution is so controversial is that it is
the main scientific prop for scientific naturalism. Students first learn
that "evolution is a fact," and then they gradually learn more and more
about what that "fact" means. It means that all living things are the
product of mindless material forces such as chemical laws, natural
selection, and random variation. So God is totally out of the picture,
and humans (like everything else) are the accidental product of a
purposeless universe. Do you wonder why a lot of people suspect that
these claims go far beyond the available evidence?" Phillip E.Johnson,
