Abstract
Did this 7.5-mile-wide asteroid really kill off the dinosaurs as secular scientists claim? On a clear night with a full moon, it's easy to see the massive craters that scar the moon's surface. Some are more than 50 miles (80 km) wide. One crater on the other side of the moon is large enough to swallow Great Britain! It's hard to imagine the size of the space rocks that caused such havoc. Astronomers estimate they were over a mile (2 km) wide. What would happen if a rock that size hit the earth? The earth is not like the moon, which has no atmosphere to prevent meteorites from explosively impacting its surface. If you've ever watched the dark night sky for a long time, you've probably seen a "shooting star" streak across the sky. That's really a meteorite, a relatively small chunk of rock broken off from an asteroid which came from beyond the orbit of Mars. The rock blazes a trail as it burns up in the atmosphere.
