’“Mother Earth would have been better off by saving the Dinosaurs and keeping the Mammals as fodder for them.”.What kind of a mother would favor one of her babies over the others?.There is no evidence dinosaurs would have been more benign..There is no reason to think even a sentient planet would care about the top mile or less.
“I would suggest you call them hypotheses not theories and you will be fine.”.Both can fail.We tend to elevate an hypothesis which has survived a few attacks to theory but even well established theories are known to have conditions in which they fail..Newton’s theories are very close at low speeds, for example, and easier to use than special or general relativity, so an error in the twentieth significant figure is ignored, usually being less than the accuracy of measurements anyway.
