"It needs a little more than just a asteroid, to create a life permitting planet."
Certainly it does, but there would not have been human life on this planet had that collision not happened. Are you claiming that a random asteroid impact was part of the grand design of the universe just so we would develop from the decimated life-forms that survived it?

You are saying that, at the beginning of the universe events were set in motion so that 13 Billion years later they would cause that exact asteroid at that velocity in that trajectory at exactly that time, to construct humanity. If true, your creator certainly uses very blunt tools to accomplish his ends. Forget about tweaking DNA, he is a regular world-buster. Happily, it is untrue because the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle shows that no such pattern could survive so long without significant loss of information. You are effectively talking about sinking the 12-ball in the near-right-corner after about 10 Billion Billion sequential collisions after the initial cue stroke.
