>>It says the object that made the crater  would be about 25 miles in 
diameter...that seems to be way too large to end up  with life recovering like it 
did. It also suggested that it could have been the  cause of the dinosaur 
extinction and then suggested it might have caused the  Volcanic Deccan 
traps? Weren't these two events a couple hundred million years  apart?

Okay...I just looked it up...I was wrong...the  traps were around 65 to 68 
million years ago...about the same time as the  dinosaur killing asteroid 
off of Yucatan showed up.
