Can’t tell if that’s sarcasm There’s no way to make sure everyone believes anything. So. No.

  It wasn't. There's definitely an extinction-level event near the rumored asteroid but the evidence is not overwhelming. asteroid hits are very very time specific one second you're fine, the next an asteroid is supposedly killing more than half of all life on the planet. yet 'some' reduction in species is rumored to have happened before the impact which negates the asteroid theory

    Which "rumored asteroid" do you refer to? You don't think an asteroid caused the Chicxulub crater? There's an awful lot of evidence in support of it. How else do you explain a 180 km crater, the iridium layer, the shocked stone, the ejecta spherules, etc? There are several relevant asteroid theories. Since you say "negate", I assume you mean the theory that the asteroid was the sole cause of the K-Pg extinction event? Shrug. Okay. Perhaps there were multiple causes; volcanism, marine regression, and extraterrestrial impact. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cretaceous%E2%80%93Paleogene_extinction_event#Multiple_causes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cretaceous%E2%80%93Paleogene_e... . I don't think anyone would be severely upset should this prove true. That's still an asteroid theory.

    You can also get “evidence” of species reduction pre-impact with archeological error- by accidentally classing post impact material as pre.
