A 65 million-year-old decision

God entered the conference room, greeted his team members, and began.
“I know it’s a difficult decision to make. Many of you were closely involved in the evolution of dinosaurs, and it breaks my heart to kill them all in one asteroid strike.” He paused, looked at the somber faces, and continued. “But the rules are clear. Any species that dominates a planet has to go.”

No one said anything. They knew his answer was final. One by one, they left the room.

God closed his eyes and thought: I hope I will never have to make this decision again.
