But as they can choose WHEN to enter our universe, their bomb can be 
TARGETED to make sure the original amino-acids which created life on 
earth won't meet due to mixing up their schedule. The dust thrown at us 
can land on a butterfly's wing which will wave then cause it to wave 
furiously creating a 1 nano-gram equivalent of wind force, initiating a 
chain of events that made a dinosaur sneeze.

Oh, wait.
