When god destroyed the dinos, why do it with a meteorite? is this the extent of his power? or perhaps he was not alone, and did not want other entities around him to think he was not giving that race a chance? is this why cockroaches have survived? so that god shows this is not a monopoly, and that some have indeed survived?
update
I think this proves that god is not really a single entity, but a group of people, possibly large enough to even allow the casting of votes. I guess this group has voted off the dinosaurs, and in order for their own history pages to show that they were not ruthless, and just eliminated the planet altogether, they just made it hard for the species to survive by throwing a piece of snot (that meteorite was actually a huge snot ball) onto the earth.
