what is the reason why the dinosaurs went extinct?
There are clues but in the end this is something we are simply never going to be able to empirically see.

This, amongst lots of other things you wrote, doesn't make any sense. We can empirically see the evidence for the reasons the dinosaurs went extinct. You do know that clues are empirically observable?

Don't spoil it!

A newbe, who thinks he/she knows it all, is always fun! He thinks that he provides new 'insights'. In the end he's just another very fundie religious person pretending not to be one.

I normally learn a lot from the responses to the incoherent ramblings as displayed by people such as granpa.

People subscribing to the purely empirical world view think that since we are "just atoms" therefore everything is, as the saying goes, "all-good" and that therefore "anything goes".

Really? Please explain how you get from "just atoms" to "anything goes"? I fail to see the connection.
