Variation are historical events that are not explainable by
evolutionary theory either :-)
Mass extinctions are an important part of evolutionary theory and
evolutionary theory can deal with the appearance and disappearance of
the dinosaurs to the same extent as it can deal with the arrival of
new genetic information via other natural processes.
Mass extinctions are explainable and form an important part of
evolutionary history. That evolutionary theory cannot predict when or
how mass extinctions may happen, this does not mean that evolutionary
theory cannot explain these. The K-T extinction and other
extinctions caused changes in environmental conditions which caused
many species to go extinct. if that is not an (extreme form) of
natural selection...
