>>I’ve never said that man and dinosaurs did not coexist. Dinosaurs not since Gen 1:2 however.<<
Hmmm so before the original sin where death and destruction entered the Earth, the dinosaur and a whole bunch of other animals went extinct - before death right?
>>I think Job speaks of the leviathan but most all scholars today agree that was a crocodile. Behemoth is spoken of in the Bible only one time and no one really knows what it was.<< Hmmm and yet his tail was compared to a tree trunk and in fact could be matched w/ anyones description of a dinosaur?
>>For the Coelacanth and other sea creatures to have survived the first destruction of this world is not beyond comprehension, in fact very probable.<<
Hmmm not very probable for evolution to leave anything that old as an exact replica of a modern-day ‘fossil - is it?
Things that make you go hmmmm...
>>Hmmm so before the original sin where death and destruction entered the Earth, the dinosaur and a whole bunch of other animals went extinct - before death right?<<
Where does it say that there never was death before the world as we know it throughout all of eternity? Would you suggest that the world as we know it was the first time God did anything even though we believe He existed for all eternity before?

Evolution? I don’t believe in evolution. Probabilities always leave an opening for “did”.
“Hmmm not very probable for evolution to leave anything that old as an exact replica of a modern-day ‘fossil - is it?”
—Among other differences, the known fossil Coelacanths are 1/3 as big as the extant Coelacanths; they were a shallow water fish, as opposed to the extant Coelacanths which are a deep sea fish; and while modern coelacanth give birth to live young, the ancient coelacanths may have instead laid eggs (although that still debated). That’s using “exact replica” rather loosely.
One thing people don’t often understand is that “Coelacanth” is not a species. Saying “Coelacanth” is not like saying “Canis lupus”, instead it’s like saying “Carnivora” (which includes dogs, wolves, bears, cats, seals, weasels, skunks, etc). “Coelacanth”, like Carnivora, or Primate, is an entire “Order”. For a species to survive 65 million years really would be something. But for an Order to survive that long, all that’s required is for there to be extant species that fit a certain broad description.
As for the mystery as to why there are no known fossils of the Coelacanth from the past 65 million years, well, it appears that the only members of the Order to survive the past 65 million years are deep sea representatives, in which case we really wouldn’t expect to find fossils.
