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

History

8 0

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

VMariaS [17]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

It took that much time because people were focused first on overcoming the terrible black death plague and had not much time to learn and reason. It was a time for survival.

The other reason is that people had lived so many years believing the religious explanations that characterized the Middle Ages. People had so ingrained those religious systems from the church and it was not easy for them to have the open mind and criteria to accept different or new knowledge. If we add the fact that if people questioned the religious beliefs they were killed by the inquisition, we can understand how difficult was for people to be open to new knowledge.

So it is true that until Copernicus spent years gathering data on the idea that the solar system operated in a spherical manner, and we lived in a heliocentric world, even though the Eastern Hemisphere knew that for 2000 years: So it took the Black Plague and the Renaissance to move things forward.
