Their claim being that Darwinism is dead because all “evolutionary” changes were due to meteor and comet impacts bringing new life forms. (Hell I’m trying to give their argument a fair presentation but the logic is far less transparent than quantum chromodynamics.) Inform me anyone?

(Drop the “darwinian” as the understanding of evolution has grown a bit since Darwin.)

Facts are things that can be proven. Pretty drawings and fancy guesswork are products of a great imagination.
