Alex is just joking. He knows what the Big Bang is because he is a trained Physicist (some of us are scientists you know).
Also a meteorite finished off the dinosaurs and allowed mammals to fill the evolutionary niche left behind. It wasn't an ice age. If you are referring to the sun being blocked out because of all the debris in the sky as being an ice age, then that's not what scientists mean when they say an ice age. People refer to it as an impact winter (or nuclear winter if it's caused by all out nuclear warfare). An ice age is something else entirely.
