Because that comet, which sent many dinosaurs into extinction, caused the mammals to go through a large adaptive radiation event that allowed the vast variation in mammals we see today, especially the variations called apes.

What year might we not be able to live on our planet anymore?

Hopefully that will never happen. Hopefully people will take steps to prevent that from happening. The earth has an amazing capability to cleanse itself, unless there is some terrible catastrophe, like a meteor smashing into earth humans should always be able to inhabit the earth as evolution causes ones to adapt to the environment.


Will humans continue to survive and evolve on foreign planets once you develop the technology to habitate on them?

Evolution is an ever ongoing process, so yes they will continue to evolve. Whether they continue to survive depends on how well they adapt to the foreign environment.


What do creationists believe in?

The views of creationists vary, so I will give you a very general set of beliefs.Creationists generally believe:- God created everything in present form. Evolution is not true.- The earth is 6,000 to 10,000 years old.- The complexity of DNA proves that everything was designed by God.- There was a global flood.- Dinosaurs and humans coexisted.Hopefully you get the picture by now. Obviously, science completely contradicts creationism. Evolution is very much true.AnswerTo find out what creationists believe in, I suggest you google : (1) "Answers in Genesis" to see what creationists believe, and then(2) "Evolution vs Creation" or something similar to see what scientists say and whether evolution is at all possible or not.Then make up your own mind. [Look up the definition of a religion and you will see that evolution is also a religion].

Yes, just not to a very noticeable level. Evolution happens gradually, and over many generations. If you could compare us to humans a few thousand years from now (if humans are still around by then) chances are you will notice differences.


Is there evolution in modern man?

Evolution, the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms, always goes on. Speciation, on the other hand, does not seem to be happening in man, but there is some controversy there. Stabilizing selection is possibly what humans are being subjected to.
