How can mass extinction affect the direction of evolution

thomaster (thomaster):

Well, take the example of dinosaurs. They were evolving untill they all extincted. So now, other animals who were once the prey of dinosaurs could evolve.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So they are opening up the area to let other living organisims survive?

OpenStudy (poopsiedoodle):

\(\tiny\text{evolution isn't real, so it doesn't affect it.}\)

thomaster (thomaster):

yes :) there are many more examples of this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay thank you i was just making sure i had the right mind set! @poopsiedoodle i agree with you i dont believe in evolution either but you still have to have a understanding of other peoples main ideas on it.

thomaster (thomaster):

Why would you not believe the theory of evolution? it's almost a proven fact. Do you think they made up all the fossils they found? Or vestigial organs?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because i believe there is a creator that Put the animals here and etc. im not getting religious we have different beliefs and view points!

OpenStudy (poopsiedoodle):

Well, fossils don't really support the theory of evolution. They just mean that something died and left its bone behind.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Exactly the animal died and those are the traces left from it!. to help us discover the different animals that were once here!! so thank you for understanding

OpenStudy (poopsiedoodle):

oops. bones*

thomaster (thomaster):

You don't have to get religious to discuss this subject :) There's a huge amount of scientific evidence that supports this theory. lol most churches even support the theory :P
