Living dinosaur = alligators and crocodiles.

That was easy. Same with any lizard.

Remember, lizards grow all their life. With the atmosphere that was back in Genesis, and the lifespans we saw from back then, a lizard that lived over 500 yeas in a high pressure atmosphere with constant uniform heat could grow quite massive in it's lifetime.

That's not really true. Present day lizards are not dinosaurs. Dinosaurs and current day lizards both share a common reptilian ancestor. Dinosaurs evolved from that common ancestor, as did present day reptiles. However, the dinosaurs became too specialized and unable to handle changes in the environment, whereas those present day reptiles did not deviate too far from the original plan(that ancestor), and thus were able to better cope with changes in the environment, which accounts for their success and existence today.

Um, no, there is zero evidence that crocodiles are decendants. Thereis only a false theory, evolution, that makes that claim.

There is ZERO evidence they are decendants. Besides, we have fossil crocodiles from back then, too. That means they were one of those terrible lizards!

Hardly anything is more specialized than alligators. They were just lucky that their niche wasn't disrupted to the same degree.
