"Only a massive, high-energy flow of water could move sand over 1,000 feet thick more than 200 miles offshore or transport a dinosaur over 70 miles out from the nearest coast. And only repeated tsunami-like flows could bury it about 1.5 miles deep. And similar, tsunami-like flows would be necessary to transport land-dwelling phytosaurs tens of miles offshore.
We’re talking about unimaginable amounts of energy—greater than any tsunami witnessed in modern times. These features are difficult to comprehend without recognizing a catastrophe as big as the great global Flood described in Genesis. There is no other conceivable explanation that fits the observable facts. It was a terrible day at the beach when the doomed Plateosaurus was washed out to sea and buried in sediments far off the coast of modern Norway."

If it makes them feel good...
I prefer facts not feelings.
You do realize that the shoreline and other topographic features were completely different 65 million years ago, don’t you?
Oh, sorry. I forgot.
"It occurs in a reddish-brown, mudstone interval referred to as the upper member of the Lunde Formation ( reservoir zone L03 ; cf. Diesen et al. 1995) (Fig. 2). The mudstone is composed of dominantly compound and cumulative paleosols that formed in distal to fluvial channels in a flood-plain forming the uppermost part of the upper member of the Lunde Formation"
So the mudstone the fossil was deposited in was formed in a floodplain. On land.
"...the whole area was flooded during a marine transgression from the north and south in Late Sinemurian - Early Pliensbachian time (Nystuen & Fält 1995)
A marine transgression isn't a "tsunami-like flow", it's caused by the sea level rising or the land subsiding, and it takes ages.
So the paper says a dinosaur lived and died on land, became fossilized, and subsequently the shoreline changed and the deposit ended up underwater.
And from this we get that secular science is baffled.
Land that was underwater tens of millions of years ago is now dry land, and vice versa. I have found fossil clam shells in hillsides miles from the ocean.
It really does not puzzle scientists when fossil sea animals are found miles from the ocean. Nor is it a puzzle to find land animal fossils at sea miles from shore.
Genesis is the only written history we have....Biblical time is totally different from the Beginning in Genesis.
7000 years is only 70 hundred-year lifespans end to end.
What we know happened doesn’t fit in that span.
What we see doesn’t fit in that span.
There’s animal fossils at sea.
There’s fish fossils in mountains.
Most of it arranged such that only long times make sense.
Fast events can’t produce fine arrangements and delicate detail, any more than a bomb can’t make a watch.
Just because the cause isn’t immediately obvious to you doesn’t mean it fits your theory.
I’m sympathetic to young earth theory, but it’s absurd.
If evolutionists are right, when you die, nothing happens.
If creationists are right, some of us will live forever in heaven, the rest of you will live forever in torment.
Think about that for a minute.
I continue to be interested in Charles Hapgood's idea. It is that the outer core of the earth (not more tan 40 miles deep) is entirely shifted over the interior from time to time. Because the earth is not a true sphere (equatorial bulge) the outer core is fractured in numerous ways as it is shifted. Lots of things are explained by this. Albert Einstein wrote the forward to the first book Hapgood wrote about this, The Path of the Pole. If you go to the Amazon link and click on their "Look Inside" feature, Einstein's forward is included.

I never cease to be amazed at how dumb most people are. I’m sure 75% of FR readers are buying this sack of BS. Ugh. I’d be amused, but they cause so much damage.
*have fun ping*
What we need to find to cement the Flood postulate is some clumps of human bones distributed in the post-diluvian washout.
It happened because you drive a gas guzzling SUV and you keep your home thermostat at 70 degrees
There was a boating accident during a storm of biblical proportions, you see, and this huge ark loaded with animals sank...
