Do extinction events such as the Cretaceous-Tertiary Mass Extinction event prove the Great Chain of Being wrong?

History

Answer:

Assuming your referring to the Christian "Great Chain of Being" then no.

Explanation:

(I will try to be as unbiased as possible)

Just to clarify for anyone who is uniformed on what exactly the Great Chain of Being is... it is a hierarchy chart which first surfaced in Medieval Europe which goes in order as... God, Angelic Beings, Humanity, Animals, Plants, Minerals.

In the Bible it is stated numerous times (I can find the specific page and such if needed) that "great beasts" roamed the earth... now there is no historical or scientific evidence this was referring directly to Dinosaurs but there is evidence that mass extinction events have occurred all throughout history and some are event mentioned in the bible itself (The Great Flood) It is thought that about 75% of all animal life on earth was wiped out (Also most believe that some form of Humanity was alive during the supposed asteroid strike) which means that if you are arguing that a mass extinction event would mean that Great Chain of Being or basically the existence of God then you would be wrong. (Again being unbiased here, there is also no evidence that there is a "God" or Gods)

I hope this could help, my apologies if it didn't. If you need any more elaboration I will gladly try my best to help out down in the comments

1. the state of absolute peace, happiness, and joy = nirvana
Nirvana is a term related to Buddhism that has to do with feelings of absolute peace, happiness, and joy. It is something that every Buddhist is trying to achieve through meditation and good deeds and leading a good life, although not many succeed.

2. those who delay entering heaven to help other people = bodhisattva
Bodhisattva is a term related to Buddhism which refers to people who can easily reach nirvana and go to the light, but choose not to until they've tried to help others in need. They feel compassionate and empathetic towards others and will not go anywhere until they've helped others.

3. the technique through which you can calm your mind = meditation
Meditation is a very important technique when it comes to Buddhism. Buddhist meditate quite often when they want to relieve stress, rid themselves of bad thoughts and feelings, and just relax after a long and tiresome day.
