That is the most ignorant statement that has ever been posted here. An asteroid strike can account for most of the living higher organisms on the planet. A strike on a continental landmass could kill everything that masses more than 20 kilos or so just by the shock. An ocean strike would be, if anything, worse. The tidal waves would drown huge numbers. The water vapor and debris kicked up would mean years without sunshine. There would be no surviving civilizations. You don't have any idea what statistical expectation is, do you? I assumed you did. Apparently, I once again overestimated your knowledge.
