Why is this not the case?
Are you claiming to know the toality of the fossil record, or do you assume that it must be a certian way for flood geology.
If these dinosaurs were alive at the time of Noah, why were they not on the ark? Do you have a textually consistent explanation?
Which animals are found on the ark and which were not? I cannot explain this wihtout knowing which animals you find to be on the ark and which you do not.
Jbuza,
This is typical of what I've observed. There's an appeal to how we can't know things for sure and everything is so uncertain.
Of course we haven't observed all the fossil record. If humans and dinosaurs coexisted, then why do we find the fossil records that we do in different layers? If a large number of mankind AND dinosaurs died at the same time in a worldwide flood, would it make sense that at least SOME of the fossil record would demonstrate coexistence? Would you expect to find SOME comingling of remains? If not in the same site then at least at the same layer?
As to the Ark, let the text speak for itself,
Gen 6:19-22
This text of course does not speak to any dinosaurs. It simply says all flesh. Is it your contention that Dinosaurs were alive at the time of Noah, and therefore included with "all" the other animals?.
What happened to them? Were they already dead? Were they present on the ark? If so what happened to them afterwards?
Do you have explanations or viable theories or do you just know what you "don't" believe?
