Interesting exersize.
1: Yes there was a worldwide catastrophe, there have been many. Likely you are refering to the extinction event that ended the reign of dinosaurs.
Appx. 65,000,000 years ago, according to several different dating techniques, each verifying the others.
2 and 3:In order for homo sapien and the dinosaurs to live in the same time frame, humans would need to have been in their current state between 120,000,000 to 65,000,000 years ago. Current fossil evidence indicates that few mammals of any kind existed in this time frame, let alone an advanced species.
If we were to accept the hypothesis as stated, a few questions would arise.
1) why would we breed an animal that is quite capable of consuming an entire family in one sitting. Two foot long teeth, or 12 inch claws, would likely serve little purpose in a domesticated animal?
2) why would we breed the vast quantity of ocean dwelling creatures, unless we were an aquatic species at this time?
3) why would there be no fossil evidence whatsoever of a human species during this time period?
4) why would there be theoretical evidence of a human cycle of physical change, that spans several million years,and only after a multi million year vacancy?
