My point is that we are talking about an event that happened 70 million years ago. Think about how long ago that was. The amount of evidence that is leftover after 70 million years of time passing is infinitesimally minute.
To think we can come to any conclusion with the tiny amounts of evidence that remains or to clue together all the remaining bits and pieces of residual evidence is extremely arrogant.
It makes for a decent story and hypothesis, and it sounds plausible. But to teach people that this is basically fact is absurd, which is my point. It should be taught as a theory.
You cannot dismiss entire branches of geology like that. The evidence is not "tiny" or "infinitesimal". Sure, it takes care, effort, and specialised techniques to find it, but it is there, and we need a theory that explains it.
Much of the research into geology has been funded by the oil industry, who are enormously interested in knowing these kinds of processes, in the hopes it will help them locate it.
Geology != figuring out how dinosaurs became extinct.
The evidences that remains after 70 million years is orders of magnitude less than the evidence that has been destroyed over the last 70 million years.
To take the morsels of evidence we have and think that paints a definitive answer is the height of human arrogance.
