The fact that there isn't the remotest scrap of evidence that a world-wide simultaneous flood ever occured at any point in the history of the earth might have something to do with it.
BTW, where in the Bible was the "except the dinosaurs" clause from God to Noah?
It wasn't in there because most of them had already been exterminated bt the time of Noah. Where was Greenpeace and PETA then when they were really needed?

Couple things. The Grand Canyon is a pretty good indication of a world wide flood. I can't recall where I read it but there have been many instances of fossils of sea creatures in mountain ranges throughout the earth. How did they get there? Almost every religion on earth makes mention of a deluge that destroyed entire cultures. Just a few "scraps of evidence" of a world-wide flood.
Also, the Bible doesn't say "except the dinosaurs". Perhpas Noah put them on (the smaller versions as our modern day dinosaurs - alligators et al - continue to grow for life) and perhaps they couldn't survive as well in the post-flood earth - what with no water vapor canopy and all. I don't know as I wasn't there. However, God said there was a flood that reached over the mountaintops so I believe there was. I don't have all the details but that's what makes faith so beautiful. You don't need to have everything explained in detail or human logic (otherwise it isn't faith). Some things just don't make a lot of sense right now.
Not unlike rooting for a football team. You have all the faith in the world that your team will make it to and win the super bowl. Why? You just do - a matter of faith.
