If all life came from an amoeba ........

If Dinosaurs became extinct during the Ice Age, how did man out survive the dinosaurs? And if all life became extinct during the Ice Age, how was there a new formation of living creatures?

Not all life became extinct during ELEs like asteroid strikes. During ice-ages animals migrated to warmer regions.

Dinosaurs became extinct 65 million years ago.

The Ice Age was a period of time around 2.5 million years ago to just recently.

All life did not become exctinct during the Ice Age, much less the dinosaurs, who were already extinct.

Watching a cartoon of a Wooly Mammoth interacting with a T-Rex is fiction, and didn't actually happen, despite how convincing the animation.

All non-avian dinosaurs were extinct long before the ice age rolled around. And it was by no means "all life" that went extinct during any mass-extinction event.

The Ice Age movies are not documentaries mate.

But that film "One million years B.C." was true, wasn't it? :p

Man wasn't a species in the time of dinosaurs. However small mammals were a thing at the time of dinos.

The smaller animals survived. Science suggests that during the sixth mass extinction we are causing the biggest animals in the sea will die first. Mass extinction doesn't mean all of life gets destroyed.

It didn't. The earliest forms of life probably were single-celled organisims of limited complexity, somewhat similar to the currently existing archaeobacteria (or whatever name they're called by now), and much smaller and simpler than amoebae.

Others have dealt with the second part of the OP; so what's your point with this first part?

Wow, there is so much wrong with this.

(1) All life did not come from an amoeba. The amoeba is a eukaryote whereas prokaryotes (which are simpler) preceded eukaryotes.
(2) The best evidence points to all dinosaurs (except birds) becoming extinct 66 million years ago (the K-Pg extinction event), which was far, far longer ago than the Pleistocene Ice Age.
(3) Humans were not yet around during the K-Pg extinction event.
(4) All life did not become extinct during the K-Pg extinct event (or the Ice Age either). Birds, crocodiles, turtles and small mammals survived it.

She took the forbidden fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. lol
simple answer.
I mean no harm towards you. Blaming the women doesn't work out nicely but there is another tree. Your going to get lots of responses. Tally them up.
Evolution and slavery to that thought of.... evolution.

"Man" didn't exist when the dinosaurs did. The dinosaurs died out some 70 million years ago, if I remember it right. And man didn't come on the scene until a few million years ago.

And if all life became extinct during the Ice Age, how was there a new formation of living creatures?
No. Not all life became extinct during the ice age. Just a lot of species died out, but some survived, and then the ones who survived had babies, who grew up and had babies, and after many, many, many generations, you had new species evolve.

It amazes me how someone capable of asking such an ignorant question could believe themselves capable of detecting a "loophole" missed by the entire scientific community.

Life did not come from an amoeba.

Dinosaurs did not become extinct during the Ice Age.

Man did not out survive the dinosaurs.

All life did not become extinct during the Ice Age.

There was no new formation of living creatures.

Any other questions?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning–Kruger_effect

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which low-ability individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their ability as much higher than it really is. Dunning and Kruger attributed this bias to a metacognitive inability of those of low ability to recognize their ineptitude and evaluate their ability accurately.

But one of the goals of the scientific method and of peer review is to counter cognative bias. It's accounted for in the methodology section of any paper, and weaknesses are qualified in the discussion section of most papers.

Since you brought up cognative bias, make sure you carefully study all of them, and don't forget some self-reflection afterwards. . .

Thanks for the link. For a really good read on all sorts of cognitive bias try, Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman.
