You've been given some very bad information there.
I work in a paleontology lab and can prove beyond doubt that this doesn't happen. We've never had a case where 99% of life on earth was "instantly
killed." The biggest dieoff (Permian-Triassic) was around 96% of the ocean lifeforms and 70% of terrestrial lifeforms and it took place over tens of
thousands (and possibly a million) years.

Those few 1 percent of survivors, hidden in caves, in holes in the earth, or under water are highly deformed, damaged and mutated by the
intense radiation causing direct damage to the DNA molecules in their reproductive cells. But the radiation damage is not visible in those survivors,
but it is clearly seen in their direct offspring.
We have lots and lots of bones in museums around the world, and we just don't see that. The last such magnetic reversal was only 780,000 years ago
and there's no particular rise of any species then or great die-off. The extinction of the large mammals (mammoths, etc) happens at a time when
there's no magnetic reversal.
Then and only then, does Darwin's evolution process of "natural selection," enter the scene, to cull the less able or disabled mutant forms
to be lost to history, while the strong survivors with many new adaptable traits become numerous new species. The new species were suddenly
"created" by the intense radiation within one generation.
Instead of getting your information from some websites, you might find it interesting to visit more paleontologial museums that have bones and
specemins of ancient creatures. In fact, evolution is clearly shown long before that... in things as ancient as diatoms (4 billion years ago). A
good local museum will have examples of this, as will any college with a department of geology or paleontology.
Example: About 1 million years ago, during the last magnetic field reversal, one species, Saber Tooth tigers, were extremely irradiated and in
less than a year became, modern lions, tigers, pumas, ocelots, bobcats, *****cats and numerous other feline species.
Uhm... no. The sabertooth tigers died out 10,000 years ago and the last magnetic reversal was 780,000 years ago. Modern tigers and so forth were
around 10,000 years ago. And there have been several different species of sabertooth cats... not just one.
Another example: The early horse, eohippus, about the size of a dog, disappeared, but became donkeys, horses and several equine variants such
as zebras which are almost related species. Notice, in this process there is no gradual evolution -- and thus no "missing links" between species.
...like mesohippus, miohippus, kalobatippus, parahippus, merychippus, hipparion, pilohippus, dinohipus, and plesippus? I'm not sure what your source
website calls those, but everyone else calls those "missing link species."
en.wikipedia.org...
No missing links between species have ever been discovered. Now you know why. The new species were "created" almost in the blink of an eye,
by intense solar radiation. No intermediate species or "missing link" were ever born. The new mutant species were born directly from their highly
radiated and DNA-modified parents.
Thus, almost instantaneously, in geologic time, the new lifeforms are "created" by the intense radiation, and then the survivors quickly "evolved"
in just one generation into the many viable new species.
Can I suggest that you take that website out of your bookmarks and instead get your basic info from Wikipedia (as a start)? I know it's imperfect,
but if you'd used that as a source you wouldn't have been led into those misconceptions.
BTW, we have seen several species evolve in modern times.
