#19–apeguero==you say: “Question is, how many different versions of man could’ve roamed the earth in the other so-called 6 times? Interesting stuff.” //// The fossil record is clear apes/hoomans evolved after the last (ie No 6) asteroid collision.

#13, yeah…they just don’t make albumns like they used too.

I think that this is only half right. And the comments are half right.

Yes, I’m sure that the earth has been hit by an asteroid of this size. And I can believe that it did this much damage and lit a firestorm that engulfed the planet. And I also can believe that it may have happened more than once.

But I think that impacts of this massive scale happened before water, air, and life came to earth. In other words, this happened when the earth and out solar system were still young and hot. Before the solar system stabilized and there were still large chucks of rock that had not been sucked into another planet, the sun, or into a stable orbit.

There is plenty of strong evidence that there were asteroid strikes AFTER life took hold. But these strikes were not at the scale illustrated in this video. The destruction and death was massive, but not total where all life, water, and the atmosphere would be destroyed.

I think that the video showing this massive strike along with trees, oceans, and glaciers was mixing up different periods of time, sort of like showing cavemen with dinosaurs.

Make sense?

You have to admit that Bush HAS protected us from such an Asteroid. I don’t recall one in the last 7 years.

@31
When the earth was formed, large impacts from other large bodies were common, that’s how planets, stars, etc were created. But none of that can actually be proven since there’s no evidence to dig up.

There needs to be a weather system in order for those sedimenty layers to be formed for archioligists to dig into, which didn’t exist back when the earth was being formed.

But these layers of sediment only goes back a couple billion years, not the full 6 billion years when the earth was belived to be created since it would have probably been absorbed by the mantel by now. Plus I don’t think we can dig down that deep enough anyway.

This has happened. I am in the process of making a youtube vid for how and where. If anyone wants to see where, open your favorite map program. I use google maps and maps.live.
Center on the Pacific North West. Particularly the Columbia river basin. Just North Enterprise Oregon was where we were hit. I have found literally thousands of ejecta impacts from this event.
I cannot promise a good quality vid since this will be my first attempt. I think I ought to be able to convince anyone though. Time will tell.
