Does this aim to answer any of my original questions? I want you to place the existence of dinosaurs on the Biblical timeline, not speculate as to how they arose or died out.

Are you saying that they existed for the span of one day, or that they were created then and died out at some later time? If the latter, did they die out before the time of man, or did man and the dinosaurs cohabit the earth?
Are you saying that they existed without light and plants? Are you suggesting that they existed in a complete void, and can a void even logically contain dinosaurs?

It could have been eons....don't know. All I know is that this is the time period when "Lucifer and the angels" were cast down.
In the garden of Eden, the serpent was already there.

But what do you believe? Do you need a theory to determine your beliefs for you? You don't care to venture a guess as to whether it's more likely true or false that dinosaurs lived in a void without plants and light?
I will have to do some research on this....

Originally posted by DoctorScribblesWell, here is proof positive that the extinction of the dinosaurs coincided with the uberflood:
This photographic evidence establishes mere point estimates of when dinosaurs lived. I want an interval estimate on the Biblical time scale. All you have demonstrated is that the time of Jesus and barbarians lies within that interval. I want to know its endpoints.

And here you see not only a dinosaur falling to its death in the rising waters, but also an explanation of geological strata:

Note the barbarian safe, for now, on the embankment. I can't tell if this is a photograph of Noah, but it clearly establishes that both humans and dinosaurs were present at the time of the uberflood.

Originally posted by checkbaiterWhen you do, please look into how the flood can be explanatory evidence for the extinction of a kind of animal. Isn't an essential component of the flood account the fact that Noah brought two of each kind into the ark to save them so that they wouldn't die out? Isn't that the express purpose, the literal and metaphorical essence, of the ark?

Originally posted by DoctorScribblesYou see what you do? You ask for evidence, so I give you evidence. But when the evidence runs contrary to your presuppositions, you discount the evidence! You are only prepared to accept evidence that corresponds with what you already believe. Thus, I have demonstrated that your entire worldview is based on faith.

How can the flood have caused the demise of the dinosaurs AND be a turning point for how dinosaurs lived before and after it?

Do you care to retract your "proof positive" claim that the flood caused their extinction in light of this new evidence? If so, then you'll have to correspondingly revise your interpretation of the image.
Please, don't criticize my faith when your world view is rooted in contradictions.

Originally posted by DoctorScribblesNo, no, no! I am not endorsing these fanciful interpretations of the evidence. I take the evidence provided by the images literally. Clearly, these images show that the dinosaurs were wiped out by the uberflood. Those people who say that dinosaurs existed after the flood aren't true Christians. How, after all, would Noah fit dinosaurs on the Ark!
