How do we know they just didn't drive real big cars, since they would all have rusted away by now? So when the dinosaur-version of AOC
said "like, the world's gonna end in 12 years or something, whatever", who listened?

Guess this a prime example of the “$h!t Happens” theory?

Dinosaurs were killed by a flood. Read Genesis.

Which flood? Noah’s flood or the one prior to Genesis chapter 1 verse 1?

“ Help EarthSky keep going! Please donate what you can to our annual crowd-funding campaign. “.

. The dinosaurs 🦕 were thriving until they stopped crowd funding EarthSky. Then EarthSky took them out.

“Which flood? Noah’s flood or the one prior to Genesis chapter 1 verse 1?”

Was void... i.e. Became void.

For those unfamiliar with this concept Strong’s Concordance talks about that word “was” in Genesis 1. You can also find a reference in Jeremiah 4:23 which says:

“I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.” Continuing on and Jeremiah he explains the other destruction that he be held. That’s a frame of reference for the term “void.”

Choose to ignore it but the fact is geologic evidence on Earth today and the agree that the Earth has gone through very cataclysmic periods in its creation and it continues to be a dynamic Planet.

This is no longer the Middle Ages were people like Galileo were almost burned at the cross for attempting to educate the population on things such as the interaction of planets in our solar system...

The Rock’s are speaking, the fossil record is speaking. The geologic and tectonic nomenclature is and has been opened up for our exploration and for our discernment.

Personally, I think the creation started with the word let there be light. And was that word a release of energy which started the process alongwith various naturally occurring processes in accordance with His plan?

And then we gaze heavenward at night and look at those stars and galaxies that are still functioning or have ceased to function and that we might or might not ever find out if they continue to exist or not because light travels only so fast and some of those galaxies are thousands of light years away from showing us what’s happening right now.

It’s not unfathomable to think like that, but we have to keep our mind open to understand the glory of the Lord rather than pigeonhole the glory of the Lord neatly in our attempt to organize the how and why.

Eventually we are dead, and gone, we will be in the presence of the Lord and we will be glorifying the Lord and not asking stupid questions that have no relevance to our Earthly frame of reference because that too... Will no longer exist we will be on a different plain in the presence of his everlasting loveingkindness.

Is existence here moved? Yes it is. But we are built to explore, and to learn, and to be instantly interested in our surroundings. Just as the Lord intended us to be. Any discovery that is scientific and is proven to a correct through observation in a repeated observation is of the Lord. It’s not satanic to seek understanding the dynamic workings of our planet, or our solar system, or a bit of our universe. Understanding is of the Lord, and if we understand but the Lord is in complete control of everything then we can understand that the Lord is Almighty.

And so I will leave this imperfect posting for anybody who is interested in picking up it apart to pick it apart. But fundamentally I think a lot along these lines and I think that we have been following in the Middle Ages for too long and we need to break out of that mindset embrace the Lord and embrace what the Lord is trying to tell us because scriptures really do say that the rocks will speak but we have to be listening. Because I think the rocks are speaking and we understand what they are saying to us. But in many cases and by many of those who hear these rocks speaking, we choose to ignore it.

Not to complicate things, but there are at least five massive meteor strikes which play major roles in floods (plural). The last that we can be fairly sure of....was around 12,900 years ago. But the dinosaurs for most part....were way gone before that one single event.

I read the headline as “Dinosaurs Thrilled by Fatal Asteroid Impact” and felt sorry for the poor critters who didn’t realize what would happen afterwards.

Or cold-blooded species like snakes, gators/crocs, turtles, lizards, etc. Maybe not provable, but it is likely that at least some dinos were warm blooded, but only the birdlike varieties survived the cataclysm, to become today's birds.

I believe in God and his creation, but not that it is only thousands of years since He did it.
