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.

I would say that the big honking asteroid impact that occurred at the
KY boundary probably led to different conditions.
