Jesusaurus

There have been five major extinction events in the life of our dear little planet's 4.5 billion years of existence... the Ordovician-Silurian, the Devonian, the Permian-Triassic, the Triassic-Jurrasic, and the Cretaceous.

Well, six if you include calypso music, aaaaand the fact that "modern" humans are metaphorically and literally shitting in their fast-disappearing potable water supplies.

In each of those previous extinction events vast populations of fauna and flora were relegated to the genetic circular file. The last event, 63 million years ago, eventually resulted in you, dear reader, and every other primate who drew a breath and subsequently dreamed of an afterlife offering vast orchards of ripe bananas and abundant termite mounds.

I just thought I'd bring that up for the very people who still believe this world is 5000 years old because they hold exactly one bronze-age tome of heavily-edited fairy tales in higher regard than contemporary science.
