if it wasnt for the big bang would humans be the dominant species?

[Subcomandante Marcos.]

If the Dinosaurs were not wiped out, would humans have survived, and become the dominant species, or would we still be running around and just surviving?

Isn't it only because of the fact we had less competition that we were able to evolve and become so intelligent as a species?

If it wasn't for the big bang, nothing, anywhere, would exist.

You see I think you're confused. The big bang is the prevailing theory for how the universe itself was formed. It happened LONG before the dinosaurs ever existed.

The Scottish biologist Dougl Dixon wrote a book in the 80s, "If the Dinosaurs Had Lived" speculating on what they might have evolved into. There are several websites and wikis specializing in "speculative alternate evolution". There's a very trippy BBC mini series,"The Future Is wild" most of which is on Youtube, speculating what paths evolution would take if humanity suddenly died out. 200 million years from now they'll be a species of slugs the size of elephants and a race of intelligent squid living in the rain forests of the Pacific Northwest of North America. Something to look forward to , anyway.

The Big Bang refers to what is believed to be the formative event of the universe, not the asteroid which is believed to have wiped out the dinos.

Didn't someone ever teach that guy that evolution is pretty much random and can only be very slightly predicted by knowing what the environmental conditions and relations between species (in terms of predation, symbiosis and such) in the future will be like?

It would probably take longer for Humans to be the dominant species, but I think that it would still happen.
