Meteor did it. 10 miles wide. and no it wasn't a flippin comet!!! It stuck off the Yucatan penensula (Mexico). It was believed that it hit the ocean but still the impact was so tremendous that a ton of dust was kicked up and blotted out the sun killing plants, and animals.

The prevailing theory at present is that the chicxulub impact at the end of the Cretaceous period was responsible. Such an impact would have thrown up massive amounts of dust, causing sunlight to be blocked out which in turn would have halted photosynthesis in plants and caused the food chain to collapse. It's still slightly open to interpretation as to how much of the extinction should be "credited" to the meteorite impact, it certainly was big (as evidenced by the size of the crater) and at the right time (there is a largely continuous layer of iridium from the impact which covers the earth and is dated at the right time). What I expect you are referring to is the Deccan traps. The Deccan traps are a massive area of flood basalts in India which were actively erupting towards the end of the Cretaceous. Such an event would have pumped huge amounts of particulates into the atmosphere, causing extinction by very much the same mechanism as a meteorite impact. I personally find this to be a more plausible explanation (although you should read more about it and come to your own opinion) as a primary cause that a one off meteorite impact as it is active for a much longer period of time and would have expelled more material. It is also a mechanism which is thought to have cause another mass extinction before then (Siberian trap emplacement is thought to have caused the Permo-triassic mass extinction). The meteorite probably finished the dinosaurs off but I think they were on the way out anyway. So yes, volcanoes did kill dinosaurs. They might not have killed all of them and even in the event that they were not the primary cause of the K-T mass extinction they would have still contributed. Below I've posted a link which explains how each theory works. This one is biased towards the Deccan trap theory so you might want to find one on the other side.

There are 3 heaven and earth ages, same heaven and earth but different ages.

II Pet.3:5-7 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
……………………………………….
THE WORLD THAT THEN WAS
Gen.1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

To that earth age the world that then was, belongs all fossils and remains. Scientific estimates or guesses; universe or heavens 20 billion years old, earth 4.6 billion years old, moon 200 to 300 million years younger than earth, dinosaur extinction 65 million years ago, Ice Age 2.5 million years ago.
………………………………………………………………
BEING OVERFLOWED WITH WATER PERISHED
Gen.1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.

AND THE EARTH WAS
The word “was” (hayah) in Hebrew, was not distinguished by the Revisers, that is the verb “to be” from “to become”. The same Hebrew word “hayah” is translated “became” in Gen.2:7.
AND THE EARTH BECAME

WITHOUT FORM H8414 tohu (to'-hoo) From an unused root meaning to lie waste; a desolation (of surface), that is, desert; figuratively a worthless thing; adverbially in vain: - confusion, empty place, without form, nothing, (thing of) nought, vain, vanity, waste, wilderness.

VOID H922 bohu (bo'-hoo) From an unused root (meaning to be empty); a vacuity, that is, (superficially) an undistinguishable ruin: - emptiness, void.
AND THE EARTH BECAME DESOLATE AND EMPTY
Earth was not created that way but became desolate and empty due to Satan’s rebellion. A global overflowing of water, but not Noah’s deluge. Darkness was upon the (face) of the deep, in other words the whole earth.
Into this we can read; dinosaur extinction, destruction of Atlantis, breakup of Gondwana Land, and the Ice Age.
………………………………………………………………………...
BUT THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH WHICH ARE NOW
Gen.1:2 And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Gen.1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

About 63 A.D. Peter writes, the heavens and the earth which are now. The heaven and earth age we are in now, today.
BY THE SAME WORD ARE KEPT IN STORE
RESERVED UNTO FIRE
AGAINST THE DAY OF JUDGMENT
AND PERDITION OF UNGODLY MEN
PERDITION G684 apoleia (ap-o'-li-a) From a presumed derivative of G622; ruin or loss (physical, spiritual or eternal): - damnable (-nation), destruction, die, perdition, X perish, pernicious ways, waste.
Some will perish eternally and not see the third heaven and earth age.

Maybe extraterrestrials caused a six mile wide comet to go crashing into the Earth. They were probably thinking the dinosaurs posed a threat to them. However, it backfired ! Now an even more intelligent animal as risen from the ashes ! We will track down ET and kick his *** !

Scientists say that a meteor hit the earth and that is how the dinosaurs were wiped out.

So, going by the Jesus and meteor theory, I merge them to surmise that Meteor Man, aka Robert Townsend, killed the dinosaurs. Thus, too, is Robert Townsend Jesus.

I did. It was an accident. I was careless with just one little asteroid and what can I say. Massive extinction.

All I can do is apologize, I'm sorry. It won't happen again.
