Does anyone know if their was specific evidence that a meteor did actually crash on earth? I am a christian and don't believe the meteor crashing on earth thus dinosaurs extinct.. but is their true evidence of meteors crashing on earth?
 
There is an impact crater centered in Birmingham, Alabama that can be seen on satellite imagery of the earth. The subsequent wave of debris from the impact is seen from NE Mississippi to Columbus, Georgia.
 
It's possible to purchase meteorites. I lived in Dallas TX when a boy, ,seeing and hearing one slam into a field at night. People heard the blast for miles around. I was a rockhound, and began a year long search for that meteorite, and found it in its crater in a pasture. The crater was about 10 feet wide with hundreds of blue "marbles" all around it. The meteorite was the size of a softball. Years later I contacted the U of AR about it, and donated it when it was confirmed it was a meteorite.

The popular assumption a meteorite struck what is now the Gulf of Mexico exterminated all dinosaurs, including mammoths, is not supported well by science. It doesn't explain why mammoths have been found frozen on their feet with food preserved in their stomach, buried in glaciers. It suggests they were all caught suddenly in blizzards that buried them. That supposed event favored by evolutionists goes against another absurd hypothesis of theirs, that T. rex evolved into modern chickens. There are no missing links found to support that idea.

A much more believable explanation for their sudden decline is the Genesis flood. If taken aboard the Ark, their numbers later would easily have been eliminated by hunters, along the line of modern men sometimes driving a species into extinction by hunting or by radical loss of their habitat. People are right now rescuing rare birds and other animals in danger of extinction due to hurricanes until their habitat is restored.

Of course..rocks hit the Earth all the time.
Here are the ten biggest known:

1. Vredefort Crater

Asteroid impact date: Estimated 2 billion years ago

Location: Free State, South Africa

Specs: Also known as the Vredefort Dome, the Vredefort crater has an estimated radius of 118 miles (190 kilometers), making it the world's largest known impact structure. This crater was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005.

2. Sudbury Basin

Asteroid impact date: Estimated 1.8 billion years ago

Location: Ontario, Canada

Specs: The Sudbury Basin is considered one of largest impact structures on Earth, with an estimated diameter of 81 miles (130 kilometers). Dating back 1.8 billion years, it is also one of the oldest known impact structures in the world.

3. Acraman Crater

Asteroid impact date: Estimated 580 million years ago

Location: South Australia, Australia

Specs: Located in what is now Lake Acraman, this impact structure has an estimated diameter of 56 miles (90 kilometers).

4. Woodleigh Crater

Asteroid impact date: Estimated 364 million years ago

Location: Western Australia, Australia

Specs: This crater is not exposed at the surface and has led to many discrepancies regarding its actual size. Reports on its diameter vary from 25 to 75 miles (40 to 120 kilometers).

5. Manicouagan Crater

Asteroid impact date: Estimated 215 million years ago

Location: Quebec, Canada

Specs: This impact crater formed what is now Lake Manicouagan. Even with erosion, it's considered one of the largest and best-preserved craters on Earth, with an estimated diameter of 62 miles (100 kilometers).

6. Morokweng Crater

Asteroid impact date: Estimated 145 million years ago

Location: North West, South Africa

Specs: Located near the Kalahari Desert in South Africa, this crater contained the fossilized remains of the meteorite that created it.

7. Kara Crater

Asteroid impact date: Estimated 70.3 million years ago

Location: Nenetsia, Russia

Specs: Now greatly eroded, the Kara crater is a non-exposed impact structure in Russia. Some have claimed that the impact structure actually consists of two adjacent craters: the Kara and the Ust-Kara crater.

8. Chicxulub Crater

Asteroid impact date: Estimated 65 million years ago

Location: Yucatán, Mexico

Specs: Located on the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico, many scientists believe that the meteorite that left this crater caused or contributed to the extinction of the dinosaurs. Estimates of its actual diameter range from 106 to a whopping 186 miles (170 to 300 kilometers), which if proved right could mean it's the biggest.

9. Popigai Crater

Asteroid impact date: Estimated 35.7 million years ago

Location: Siberia, Russia

Specs: Russian scientists claim that this crater site contains trillions of carats of diamonds, making it one of the largest diamond deposits in the world. These diamonds have been referred to as "impact diamonds."

10. Chesapeake Bay Crater

Asteroid impact date: Estimated 35 million years ago

Location: Virginia, United States

Specs: Discovered in the early 1980s, the Chesapeake Bay Crater is located approximately 125 miles (201 kilometers) from Washington, D.C. Some estimates suggest this crater is 53 miles (85 kilometers) wide.

Not all science is wrong...In Fact science tends to prove the bible true.
